My friend never got a parenting plan in place right away after separating from her daughters father.  Now she's is struggling with him to agree.  Right now they have a verbal agreement in place that there child (age 3) will reside one week at mom's and one week at dad's rotating. This has worked up until dad decided to take a night job and doesn't get off until one in the morning. Mom has had daughter stay at her house during these times he works, but dad is showing up and trying to pick her up at 1am. Also note dad is trying to put her in a over night day care instead of allowing her to stay with mom. She has now filed in the courts and is awaiting mediation to try and reach an agreement. In Colorado, if he places her in day care over night what would stop mom from picking her up. Again there is no custody papers in place legally.  Also would it look bad on her in court if she does this.  My opinion is the child is better off with a parent rather than a third party, but again it was a verbally agreed parenting plan.
