My Son's Dad Had A Health And Welfare Check Done On My Son While In My Care.

EDIT: can he use this check against me in court? What might the courts think of this? Can I use this unnecessary check in court against him?

I'm not sure how to proceed. I think he did it for petty reasons. Sometimes I go on trips and our son will stay with his dad and then I keep my son for a little longer to make up our days. Here's what I think led to this, I was going to be gone for three days of my normal scheduled time, when I dropped our son off at his dad's he said that he couldn't provide transportation for him to and from school and that I need to figure out how he will get there while I'm gone. I said okay, well I'll just stay home and I won't go on my trip because our son getting to school is more important and our priority. He started to get upset and said, no, no he'll figure it out. I kept asking if he was sure and he said yes he's capable of taking care of our son. I said okay, because it's no problem to me to stay. He said he's got it, and I said that I will make up my time with him when I get back as usual. When I got back I picked my son up, his step mom handed him off. Nothing was said. The next morning comes ( his usual pick up time), he texts at 7:20 am ish 40 mins before pickup, " hey we still good to get xxx?" I of course didn't answer because I thought we had an understanding so I didn't set an alarm for my son and I to wake up. My mom texted me at 8:20 ish saying the cops were at my place. But we again didn't hear cause we were sleeping. He only sent 1 text. Didn't call, didn't show up, there have been times he has shown up and we slept through the alarm and he called and said he was waiting outside. The cops then knock again at 10 and they said that there was supposed to be a child exchange this morning and that they're there to check on my son. I explained to them the situation and that I was making up my days and they said, oh okay we didn't know that. I showed them my son sitting on the couch playing video games, and they were like okay and left.

I believe he was trying to set up evidence against me? Trying to say I didn't answer him, but he sent one text and made zero calls? He is known to be petty in the past. He was really upset about the whole transportation situation. Why did he only text 40 mins before pickup? Why not the night before like normal? Why send a text like that, when he knows if we both know about a pickup time he usually texts, "on my way" .

His wife use to be nice to me, now she doesn't acknowledge me or give me information about our son. She won't let me tell her information about our son when she picks him up. She tells me that's for me to talk to my son's dad about. But like if our son is in your care, shouldn't I be able to tell you information about him? Especially when he's been sick and I'm trying to communicate the times he's taken his medicine, or tell you about the prescriptions he's gotten?
