What would you do? Custody

We are reaching The stretch in custody but we are stuck in place the master vouched for us to have friday-monday and week on week off in the summer but bio moms saids no to us dropping her at school because "she has a schedule" and she can take bus but she wants to be in charge of it. now we can hope she agrees or she decides to deny the masters recommendation and we wont have custody hearing until the summer in hope we get the day we want. while paying so many more lawyer fees We agree to loose a day because mom feels like it but we get more days in the summer but not enough in the week. While wondering are we doing whats right for my stepdaughter or are we being greedy. We want more time throught the year not just summer and holidays Every advise is helpful

If you can get sd to school on time with her homework completed, there is no reason why the recommendation shouldn't stand. You can also have a "schedule" at your house. If bm is reasonable, ask for specific ways you can replicate the schedule at your house so sd has a consistent routine. Be sensitive to bm's concerns. Not getting any weekend days with your kid throughout the year is hard. Maybe she has big Sunday dinners, maybe that's when she sees or calls her parents, who knows? Have dad see if she would prefer Thursday to Sunday. Or would be interested in trading days sometimes. You aren't unreasonable for wanting the time, but be open-minded on how to get there while you are going through the process. Good luck 🍀

@Bonny Nope shee does not and is doing it with reason because she agreed the schedule was perfect and still said no the reason we filed in the first place is because she wasnt allowing us to see her and if wanted to see her She said we could take her to court her words exactly shes not a one to reason kind of person we have gone through lawyer because speaking with reason isnt a thing for her i wish it was because it would make this process so much easier for everyone We also offered week on week off and 2-2-3 and she has shut down every single choice we given her because she want to control the lawyer and the court has seen its about power for her
