Hello. My ex had my 10 year old daughter yesterday between 9:30 am and 3;30 pm, and despite her asking for a slice of Pizza 4 times, he refuses, as the restaurants in that area were not Kosher. After ending their activity, around 3:30 pm, he suggests to now take her to a Kosher restaurant, which she refuses and asked to be brought to my home.
By the time I finished my teaching session and took her out to feed, it was 6:30 pm, and she had gone all day with a few teaspoons of cereal that she had in the morning.
Can I do anything to prevent this? We have previous court order telling him to not push religion on her, and let her choose how religious she wants to be when she grows up.
Answer
I think you are trying to manufacture a religion issue where there really is not one. I doubt that a judge would want to entertain a hearing based on the facts you presented. You could have provided a more substantial breakfast before she left. I assume the "few teaspoons of cereal" were when she was with you. She could have gone to the restaurant suggested by her father if she was that hungry, but she declined. You could have provided her something to eat when she was returned to your care @ 3:30. The father should not be at fault because of your teaching schedule. In a nutshell, a ten year-old should be able to make it six hours without eating. Obviously, the father would not look good if he absolutely denied her food during this period, but he did not. I apologize for being so blunt.
