Who Pays For Visitation?

by **arnott** » Thu Dec 12, 2013 7:51 pm

My husband and I have been divorced in SC and that is specifically in which I at present dwell with our son. I was granted total custody and my ex has "sensible rights of visitation". There are no specifics spelled out in our decree over visitation schedules we just alternate holidays. My question is this, my ex is Navy and he lives in nonetheless yet another state. In truth he has lived in three states provided that our divorce. If my decree only states that I ought to make my son readily out there for visitation, then who is accountable for the worth? Am I essential to devote half transportation expenses? Am I critical to meet him halfway?

I guess I base a lot of it on the fact that he left us initially and I in no way feel I ought to have to invest these charges taking into consideration that we would not have them had he not left. But that could be my personal anger speaking. He EXPECTS me to always meet him half way and now that he lives six states away, he desires me to pay half the airfare. I genuinely can not afford that even with kid assistance added in so I was just trying to see exactly where I stood. If I have to spend for airlines tickets it could influence my capacity to provide for my son and that is not acceptable.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I will remind him of the military flight thing next time he pitches a fit about cost. And we are currently going back to court for the visitation issue so I hope to have that resolved as soon as we get a court date.

You should get this spelled out in an order but normally the parent who moves away bears the expense.

As an over-all principle, whoever goes is usually accountable for transport. Therefore it is really as much as you if you wish to support it out using the time/expense of transport. Nevertheless, since he's within the military and possibly shifting because he's togo where in actuality the Navy sends him, it may be worth it for you really to help him out. Officially, you probably don't have too and can probably drive him to complete everything but because he's not going by-choice, not sure thats the best thing to do.

If he's active-duty Navy, he may travel for free on the military aircraft, consequently, that you don't need certainly to spend some of his airfare for him in the future visit. Could it be required in your court requests which you spend half? Or even, then you definitely do not need certainly to anyway.
