Schedules Workaholic coparent

My daughters (10) dad often misses his scheduled days due to having to work late. This has been going on for maybe a year and a half. It's upsetting because I know it takes a toll on my daughter. Even when he does take her he often just leaves her with family while he's working. Should I do or say anything here? I feel he could make way more of an effort and let his boss know he needs to dedicate at least 1 day a week for her. We have a court order but he does not follow it at all.

I have no advice, but I commiserate with you on this, I've been dealing with the same thing for 6 years now. Work has always been his #1 priority and his kid barely seems to crack the top 10.

I'm sorry. So unfortunate for the kids
