My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Kentucky. I have custody of my two children, ages 10 and 14. There is a visitation order in place that stated that my ex-husband has visitation every other weekend. He is to pick them up from school on Friday afternoon and return the to school on Monday mornings. He hasn't kept them on Sunday night for several years and I take them to his house on the weekend and pick them up. The issue is with our son's high school varsity soccer practice and his games. Every school day, he practices after school or has a game. He also has games every Saturday. His father does not want him to play, period. When I go to his home to pick up our son for games, he makes it a point for them not to be there, making it impossible for our son to attend his games. Both my son and I have asked if he could stay with me on Friday night for practice and come to his father's after his Saturday games. The soccer season ends on October 14. His father has refused and stated that what he wants to do is more important than a stupid soccer game. I have no desire to keep him away from our children, I just want my son to be able to play soccer, as he wishes to do. Another issue is that our daughter does not want to visit her father. There have been issues not related to the soccer games that involve he and his girlfriend fighting in front of the children, him throwing her out in the middle of the night with the children there, and him telling me to tell them to forget they have a father. I do not know how to handle the situation.
