That wouldn't have stopped her from getting into trouble though. A court order
is a court order. I'm sure the courts would have made her change her habit of
doing that. Fear of jail would have done it. Although my grandkids don't see
their dad at his choosing, being older, they have things to do that would
conflict if they saw him all of the time. My daughter was told though that if
they had plans, say a party to go to or something at school, since it would be
his time to have them, he would have to get them there and back.

I don't know what was in your court papers or much else about your situation,
but she got away with breaking the law.
