My fob sees my daughter every 2-3 weeks. In half term he has her for longer visits but it's generally just 2 nights at the weekend.
We live over a hundred miles apart so there is obviously substantial travel involved in these visits. I expect fob to pick her up from nursery and drop her off back home around these visits, my reasons being that he has her for about 20% of the year, which means i have her for 80% and therefore do a lot more transporting around. I am the one driving her to nursery every day and will be driving her to school when she's older, as well as extracurriculars. We also used to live in the same city but he moved away rather than get a job here near to her when he graduated. I also don't ask for any money in the form of child support or anything else from him so i figure he can pay for transport costs!
Am i being unreasonable? He has asked if we can meet partway but i don't want to for the reasons outlined above - please let me know if they are unreasonable!
 
Perfectly reasonable, especially as he isn't paying any child support and he chose to move away.

I will soon be moving 160km away from FOB but he still has to cover transportation costs, I just agreed to travel half way twice a month because I'd probably want to anyway as the halfway point is where friends of mine live.
 
No you are not.

He chose to move away and whilst that's his right to do so it doesn't have to impact your life. It's not your job to assist him in the access to the child. You give him access which is his right but you don't have to do anything else. Soon he'll be asking you to drop her off coz it's easier for him lol tell him to jog on.
 
Even if he was paying child support i wouldnt expect u to meet him half way,
 
Due to the fact that he is not paying support I would say he can travel. I am in same situation and expect him to travel. Once he starts paying I may be more motivated to mee him half way!
