Latest round of bullshit pt. 2

October 24, 2005

Dear Mr. Feldman:

I appreciate you communicating Mr. Frank’s requested visitation schedule. During our meeting on 10-12-05 that followed the Court hearing, I know Mr. Frank agreed to check his calendar and forward this information the next day. I have been waiting to hear from you since that date.

Although self-employed, during that meeting Mr. Frank was adamant about not being able to visit with the children on ANY Saturday or Sunday due to his anticipated weekend work schedule. Based on the delay in his response time, I was concerned that Mr. Frank had chosen to continue not exercising his visitation time.

During the hearing of 10-12-05, the Commissioner stated that the visitation time Mr. Frank has with the children would not change adding that Mr. Frank may, if he chooses, exercise his visitation with the children on a half-day basis per the guidelines outlined in the Parenting Plan. The Commissioner also stated that Mr. Frank was responsible for the pick-up/drop-off of the children in Ellensburg. I respect the Commissioner’s recommendations and decisions of our hearing on 10-12-05.

Since January of 2005, Tom has never exercised his visitation schedule. However, I will agree to Tom’s request of a visitation schedule of every other Sunday, beginning on 10-30-05. I do maintain my concerns regarding Mr. Frank’s drug and alcohol problems and the children’s safety while in his care. Therefore, I request that each visit be limited to five (5) hours each, commencing on and/or after 12:00 Noon with a return on and/or before 6:00PM. (As Sunday is a school night, it is in the best interest of the children to be home by 6:00PM). Since he will be driving the distance to Ellensburg for these Sunday visitations, I believe Mr. Frank will agree this is a reasonable time frame in comparison to the after school visitation times agreed upon in our Parenting Plan. Exchanges will take place at the Ellensburg Police Station, as a Restraining Order is in effect. In order for the children to be ready and available, I am requesting from Mr. Frank, before his first Sunday visit (10-30-05), a written calendar of his Sunday dates and times. This is to ensure a commitment from Mr. Frank. If he fails to contact me regarding not being able to exercise any given visitation or does not show up, I will assume he is choosing again to stop exercising his visitation times.

Per the 10-12-05 Order, please refer to the Parenting Plan regarding Mr. Frank’s request for the Holidays, Special Occasions, etc. However, please know that the final Parenting Plan was determined based on the collateral input of Mr. Frank and myself. Even though Mr. Frank had every opportunity, this past year, to exercise his holiday visitation dates (Hanukkah, July 4th, Father’s Day and his birthday) he never made arrangements; not even a telephone call. Therefore, I am assuming that Mr. Frank will continue his choice of not exercising his holiday visitations, unless I hear differently from you, of course, in a timely manner.


Sincerely,


Moira Tynan
