My child father comes to see my child every blue moon but it has to be at my house. I have talk to him about setting up an arrangement where he can see our child whenever and that we should rotate the weekends or he can keep our child every weekend, well he didn't agree with the arrangement so now I need help with visitation he isn't going to sign up for it his self is there a way I can take him to court or some other way so they can make him do it
My experience with fathers that dont want an active part of thier childs life. Is that your probably better off with them out of that kids life for good.
The Courts cant force him to spend time with the child. You kid should be with people that love him just because not because the courts forced them to be together.
Everyone is correct. You can not force visitation. Isn't it sad? I tried for years to have my ex involved in his children's lives. He only wanted them on his terms and would always back out of his weekend especially if he thought I might have plans. When he thought it was hard for me to drive the kids to his house for visitation (like the day after my 3rd son was born, or the day my 3rd son was in the hospital with a potentially life threatenting illness) he made dang sure he got to see his kids no matter how hard it was on me.
Trust me...never try to force him to see them. If he doesn't want to it is just a glimpse into your future. Next he will try to stop paying child support and so on and so on and so on. Worthless parents are just worthless parents. You can't change them.
The father is actively involved and visiting. It sounds more like the OP wants a set schedule and the father to take the child to his house on occassion so she can have days off.

Sounds like there's no court ordered visitation, therefore a schedule is not established. Seems to me that's what she wants, but it sounds like he's not going to commit to any schedule. And he can't be forced to.
She clearly says that visitation is at her house only. And she is trying to get him to take the child for weekends at his house. She clear is wanting more than a schedule.

No dispute from me about that. I sense he's going to make it difficult for her. Even if she gets her way, he can't be forced to live up to it. I think she should just leave it alone so she can keep total control of the child. I think this has a propensity to get ugly.
If she wants a set schedule, then she should take him to court to establish it. But, if he doesn't want to keep up his end, he simply won't.

"Every blue moon" doesn't sound like he is actively involved to me.

She could set her own schedule by not allowing him to come over when it's not convenient for her.
