Should/Can a father use extra time in between his visits to spend time with his kid?
If there is a set child visitation between two parents such as every other weekend, can or should a father use some extra opportunities to visit the child, such as "swing by the house on his lunch breaks" or pick the child up after he gets out of work to take him/her to the park for an hour? Is this OK? Legal? Stable?

The parents can not see eye to eye on terms and will soon hopefully get a set visitation order, this is why the question is being asked because there seems to be a lot of animosity coming from the mother (custodial parent). Currently the father struggles to get the child on weekends as it is.

Yes, my worry is that with the mother acting the way she currently does that she could get upset one day as you said and in spite put a stop to these undocumented visits which would then leave the child hanging and that's where the stable part of my question comes in. None the less if there's no legal barrier I guess there's no harm in trying to spend as much time as possible together.
