I recently had a meeting with the Friend of the Court in Bay county Mi. This was concerning parenting time for my daughter. Originally I had her Mon, Wed, and every other Friday Saturday and Sunday. I was moved to 3rd shift and this changed. I changed my job to be able to see her again.
When I arrived my Ex-wife was already there. She and the FOC lady had drawn up a visitation schedule. I responded I would like to work with my existing schedule since it is done for a month at a time as I am an LPN. I stated I wanted my daughter half of the time. My ex refused. The FOC lady showed me the plan they had come up with and I did not agree. She made a secondary plan but told me she had another meeting and we had to finish up then left me with no option but to agree to the plan she and my ex had cooked up. Basically strong arming me. When I stated if I couldn't have her half the time then it should be the standard. She said there are no standard visitation guidelines.
This is a blatant lie. You can find two standard schedules if you look them up online.
So she lied and forced me into something I did not agree with. Be careful when you deal with these people as they are dishonest.
At the next meeting I will absolutely not agree to anything but our original set up. I plan to take it all the way to a judge since there is no fairness or honesty in the FOC offices.
