If your ex routinely “forgets” to drop off the kids during your court-ordered parenting time, you’re not alone—and you’re not powerless. Whether it’s a late arrival, a total no-show, or a manipulative excuse, the most important thing you can do is document every incident.


Start with a parenting time journal. Note the date, time, the excuse they gave (if any), and your efforts to follow through. Keep communications in writing—text and email are your best allies.


Use co-parenting apps to timestamp everything and reduce drama.


The court won’t act on vague complaints. But show a pattern of missed exchanges with clean, unemotional records—and you’ll be taken seriously. You may be eligible to file a motion to enforce your rights or request makeup time, modifications, or other relief.
