- Q. Joint custody issues with transportation and communication for summer visits.
- A: One option would be to seek a downward modification of custody based on his statement that he won't provide transportation unless he can stop paying child support. Court won't be happy to hear that. The other option would be to simply modify your existing orders to include a modification of the transportation arrangements because he now has a car.
