When my daughter was smaller, (3-8) she didn't want to go to her dad's house. I don't think it was because she didn't like it/him, she just liked being with mom better. she has adjusted over the years and now goes eagerly. I will say my ex and I had an excellent relationship after the divorce, so I'm sure that helped.

Unless it is a distance issue, see if you can work it out into shorter periods. We are lucky that Rainey's Dad lives close. He has been 10 days away from us so far. Summer visitation has not been discussed yet but we are hoping to spread it out into 15 days in July and 15 days in August.

Ex and I have a 50/50 alternating week agreement. It's still new so she's still adjusting (she's 6). We talk up how much fun they're going to have at the other person's house and allow her telephone or skype access at all times if she wants to talk to the other parent. She never wants to go to her dad's house, but I think its just because he is the one who moved and I am still in the same place with familiar surroundings. I wish the courts were more educated when it comes to kids with ASD and how custody agreements will affect them. 63 days is an awful long time.

thak you @ Debbieand rick and @CBP

My son is required to go to his dad's houde for 63 days. this is in our divorce decree.
