Hi, [Custodial Dad].
I will do my best to accomodate your visit with [daughter].
5PM-7PM is the absolute best I can do.

[Custodial Dad], with all due respect,
I have repeatedly written to you in all previous emails that [daughter] will NOT be available before 5PM. 

Am I not communicating that information well to you?
Please, let me know how I can better facilitate your understanding and respect of her educational obligations.
I hope you can find one or more supervisors who will be able to cover the 5PM-7PM time slot in which [daughter] is available.
From your messages,
I see an hour of time , 6PM-7PM, which you could have with [daughter] as I have consistently stated a two hour slot between 5PM -7PM. 

Do you want that hour between 6-7PM? 
Let me know, please.
Let me know your options for supervisors and I will gladly work with you.

Please, let me know if you need me to bring her dinner, as she has a meal during this time.
If you will please provide me the time during which you can be available between 5Pm and 7PM, excluding [Second visitation Supervisor]’s availability,
I will be more than happy to call the supervisors which you have contacted and check on their availability for 11/19 PM and 11/20.
I will have to make these calls to the supervisors between my parenting responsibilities and my academic requirements.  Thus, please email me by the early AM so I can have a better chance of getting someone to facilitate your time with [daughter]. 
I would like to see that both you and [daughter] have a pleasant visit with the maximum time spent together while you are here in [other state].
[resturant] at [mall] Town Center remains the best choice for maximum visit time on this Wednesday afternoon/evening.  I hope you can agree to meet with [daughter] at that initially stated location.
Kind Regards,
[The Ex] [last name]

If you can not bring [daughter] at 4 pm, please explain why you are suggesting I call you at 3:30?  Either she is available or she isn’t.  [Second visitation Supervisor] and I are both available at 4pm and [Second visitation Supervisor] needs to leave by 6pm.  If that does not work with YOUR schedule then you need to find an alternate supervisor ASAP.

We will skip on breakfast if 7 am is too late as [Second visitation Supervisor] is not available prior to that.

Your inability to compromise has been noted. You are making this harder than this has to be.

Hi, [Custodial Dad].
Please my previous e-mail.
Glad to accommodate your request.
However, this proposal your would like confirmed conflicts with [daughter]’s school responsibilities and my ability to get her to you on schedule.

1.[resturant] is closer to allow me to get her there fastest to have more time with you; 5PM-7PM.  You may call me at 3:30PM on 11/19 and text me and I can see if there is a possibility to get her to you and [Second visitation Supervisor] earlier than 5PM.
2. AM breakfast on 11/20 is too late at 7AM.   Please give another proposal  Please give confirmation of [Second visitation Supervisor]’s attendance.
3.    Please, supply [Second visitation Supervisor]’s contact information so I may make these arrangements more efficiently.

Thanks  for working with me for a successful visit with [daughter].  Please see below.
Here is my latest email to you yesterday AM which I have pasted for efficient reference.  Here it is:

Hi, [Custodial Dad].
To best accommodate [Second visitation Supervisor]’s availability on 11/19/08 and your stay in [town in other state], the best that I can do is the following:
Adjusted visit arrangements could be:
A.    Time 5PM-6PM with [Second visitation Supervisor] and 6PM -7PM with another qualified supervisor approved by [Ex’s first other state lawyer].
1.    [daughter] is available between 5PM and 7PM as 11/19/08 is a school night.
2.    Since your latest expeced time is 4PM, it seems reliable to start at 5PM to allow for a successful visit time.
3.    7PM end time allows for travel home and bath/ bedtime routiene.

   
   
B.    Place: [resturant] is the location that best enables an extended time slot.

1.[daughter] will need to have dinner.
2.Dinner can be accomodated at the covered dining space near the kids play area. 
3.    I can bring something for her to eat or you are welcome to provide a meal she will enjoy.
4.    We can travel to and from that location with ease to allow more time for your visit.

C.    Please send me the possible time and supervisor for 11/20/08.  I am happy to work with you to make the best of your time spent here with [daughter].

Thanks, [Custodial Dad].
Kindly,
[The Ex]

[The Ex]
This letter is to determine the best possible time(s) for my visitation on the 19th.
[Second visitation Supervisor] has graciously accepted to be (your requested) supervisor again ... however her available time is pre 6PM and I am busy until about 3/3:30 but no later then 4PM that day. I was told there is a Bowling Alley near the Baseball Stadium and that can be our meet up area.
Breakfast the next morning would be very possible as well as long as it does not interrupt [daughter]s’ school day

[The Ex]

 Since the Mediation [webcam software] meeting you have been MORE then well aware that I will be in [other state] the 19th.  You and your attorney recommended [Second visitation Supervisor] and being that I am in [home state], I can not locate an alternate.  If you are truly trying to help facilitate this meeting, YOU will find an alternate supervisor especially since your new demands be that your attorney give her stamp of approvaX  I am in no way stating that [daughter] should miss school for the visit but if there is an extracurricular activity or your schedule interfering, I think being that you withheld visitation for so many years, you could alter the schedule for this one time. 




Where I am mistaken or confused is your statement and I will quote, “You may call me at 3:30PM on 11/19 and text me and I can see if there is a possibility to get her to you and [Second visitation Supervisor] earlier than 5PM.”  I am stating that the availability of [Second visitation Supervisor] is prior to 6 pm.  If you choose not to locate an alternate supervisor then I will see [daughter] from 5 - 6 pm only. Understand that because you have an unsubstantiated claim that is probably [The Ex]dictive in nature, I am paying $75 per HOUR to satisfy your need.  The very least you can do is not block my efforts after I satisfy your requests.




If you expect sympathy for you FINALLY facilitating contact, I am sorry I have none.  By your own admission, this is highly unnecessary and a less than strategic attempt at delaying [daughter] an opportunity to be with her family.  This is costing us all money.  Like you, I am in school with a full time job but unlike you I have children and a spouse that I attend to.  My time is just as precious as yours.  By and through you, I have wasted time and money traveling to [other state] only to be stonewalled and bullied. When this matter goes before Judge [Other State Judge], there will be a chance to have a fair chance to allow [daughter] a chance to be parented by the BOTH of us.




If you can not and continue to refuse to cooperate, I will have [Custodial Dad’s other state lawyer] speak with [Ex’s first other state lawyer] directly to circumvent your obvious want of control of this situation.  I believe [Custodial Dad’s other state lawyer] has already contacted her but should I allow the attorneys to schedule this event?

[The Ex];

During my last visit to [other state] while you were attempting to schedule the visit with [daughter], at the [visitation site], you stated that your attorney was the one who required supervision—while both [Step Mother] and I were on the line with you.  If you do not require supervision, why are you making this so difficult?  I ask you to please do what is best for [daughter].
You are constantly telling me how much money [Ex’s first other state lawyer] is costing you and how she is requiring things you yourself no longer require. I would suggest you find an attorney whose agenda is more in line with your own.

Again, please either allow the visit as it stands or set up something more suitable to your attorney’s requirements.
