Devastated - Ex husband won't let kids come to wedding

That is nothing short of cruel and I am so sorry you are going through this. I’m not sure why you planned the wedding on a weekend you knew they would be with him but if you can, I’d change it. Also, stop making accommodations for him as he is clearly not doing the same for you.

If it's his wkend I dont think you have any ground to stand on.

View Quoted Comment I have filed for an exparte hearing on a visitation and it was granted because it was time sensitive.

At any rate, she should still file and have it addressed. Courts don’t like it when the other parent doesn’t put the kids first. Maybe by filing will make the other parent reconsider being cooperative rather then having to stand before a judge and explain why they’re a jerk.

View Quoted Comment Exactly. I cannot believe he wont even let them attend the event, how hard would a drop off/pick up be? Could another family member do that as to not inconvenience him? A court/judge will see it the same way.

But make sure you have written proof - texts, emails etc. Showing you have tried multiple options, asked and offered options, taken weekends at his request for alone time, that your children WANT to be there (and they are old,enough for the court to hear it from them directly), that it was your weekend to begin with etc....even just filing it can sometimes make people "wake up" or their attorney will talk sense into them etc.....i do hope for you and your children's sake that it gets worked out!

This is terrible! My FH exwife is bot going to let his daughters be jr. Bridesmaides or attend the wedding. He is crushed by this, and especially since my daughter is. She is a very mean spirited person despite her being remarried and them being divorced 5 years there isn't a chance in h***! I hate to do it, but the wedding must go on!

I’m late to the table on this thread, but just wondered what the outcome actually was? Did your ex pull through? I’m hoping your children were able to attend your wedding.

I think I'll end up going through this next year so I'm deciding whether to actually even share the date so there are no issues.
