Am I in the right or the wrong if I decided to not allow our child to go with their father on his documented visitation due not having a valid driver’s license?

I have expressed to the father though emails and verbally about the safety of our children Prior to his scheduled visitation weekend. He had failed to show me proof of a valid driver’s license and failed reassurance me that his wife would take the responsibility in being the only one operating all vehicles our children would be traveling in. But they both failed to show any reassurance. all that was received was sarcastic remakes and yelling from both. At the that I time I removed us (my children and I) from the situation and did not allow our children to go with their father.

Under the laws of all states in this country, for one to legally drive on a public street, he or she must have a valid driver's license in effect. If the father of your child cannot provide you with evidence that he has a valid driver's license, you were legally justified in not allowing your child travel in a car driven by the father.
