I do thank all of you very much for your thoughtful advice and time.

You said:
"if there is alot of drama taking place and you want more face time with the ex through the child"
What do you mean want more face time with the ex through the child???

Your asking for more visitation. Your having real problems when you have to trade off your child ( face time ) for drama to occur. A lot of times that's how a judge will see it. Creating yet even more conflict because you must face each other more in order to rear your child. So what your inadvertently asking for is more conflict through greater visitation. If the mom wasn't being so witchy then it wouldn't be a problem. Sometimes judges make decisions based upon how close to lunch it is. Its sad but true. To me they should have ordered something along the lines of parenting classes and conflict resolution so you both can move on instead of you being the only one to focus on the child.
