So while the discussion specifically carved out an exception for any surgery that simply couldn't wait and addressed only surgeries not subject to emergency issues, you felt arguing that you have never experienced what I have with non-emergency surgeries was pertinent how?

Obviously if you have never dealt with a non-emergency situation, of course what you have experienced will be different from what I have experienced with non-emergency issues.

You expressed that typically a doctor mandates when a sugary is to be performed but upon this further discussion it has been show you might have added: in situations that are not similar to those in the discussion at hand. Then, while still not germain to the discussion, at least it would have been accurate. As it hapened, without the clarification, your post is read simply that your experience is that non-emergency surgeries (since that was the salient point of the discussion) are not able to be scheduled with any concern for the patient's schedule.

However, its not been determined that this surgery is non emergent. I really assumed that it was emergent since she is doing it three days before Christmas.

It doesn't matter if it was or wasn't an emergency survery. The discussion had removed that possibility from the matter being discussed and was addressing only non-emergency situations.

There have been quite a few ... "issues" ... this OP has written about.

Well, maybe that is why we got our wires crossed, because I certainly did not consider that the discussion had removed that possibility and was focusing on only non-emergent.

Interesting. She really wants to find a reason to deny dad.

Eh, I think that is overstating things a bit. One thread in mid 2013, and one thread in early 2014, and now this one nearly two years later. To me, that does not add up to quite a few issues.

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: PA

So, I am having surgery 3 days before Christmas, and will not be permitted to drive for at least 2 weeks.

I had originally planned on having my current husband take the kids to their Dad's for the holiday. But don't think that is going to happen.

Can I get in trouble? I mean, I am not ALLOWED to drive! Thoughts?

And so you understand WHY my husband doesn't want to take them; my ex lost his job (he knew a month before hand it was happening) and got a severance package - so he has not been filing unemployment - and i've not gotten any support since before Thanksgiving - so my kids Christmas was basically ruined. Of course my husband saved the say. but its not HIS JOB to provide support for my EX's kids.. He does, all the time.. so I don't have the gas money to have him drive 200 miles to drop them off.. 200 miles home, then again in 3 days..

I KNOW THE TWO ARE DIFFERENT.. but it doesn't change the fact - can I make him come get the kids?

It might be cheaper to tell your currnet husband to take the children even though he is not happy that your ex's child support hasn't been paid. When I say "cheaper" I'm referring to the possibility of attorney fees, courts costs, etc if your ex takes you to court.

You also need to be thinking about cutting expenses. Since there has been a change in your ex's income, he can file a Modification of child support and have it reduced.

You can be quite diplomatic.

Sorry about the tirade. I started typing and the words simply wouldn't stop. I was a bit brusk and surely could have phrased thing differently.

No worries...we all get that way sometimes.

OP, file for contempt. Not being employed does not relieve him of the responsibility for support.
