    Default Who Picks Up the Children for Visitation Exchanges

    My divorce papers state that the parent effectuating parenting picks up the children. We have a schedule of visitation. We have joint custody but I have physical custody.

    My ex-husband said that he picks up the children and that is considered effectuating parenting and I am responsible to pick up the children after visitation to effectuate my parenting rights.

    Does this sound right? I was under the impression that since he is taking the children for visitation that he should pick up and return. The divorce papers only discuss the pick up.

    If the decree does not specify who is to do the pick up and return, then that is a matter for you and your ex-husband to decide for yourselves. This is not an issue that is addressed by law.

    Presumably you are both mature adults and able to reach an amiable conclusion. One would hope.

    If that's what your divorce judgment states, then your ex husband is correct.

    Agreed.

    And while it might be just me, this question is honestly ridiculous. Where exactly is the problem? Is it too much to expect parents to share that responsibility?
