Disaster plans with shared custody?

Hopefully this is in the right section of the forum.

For those of you who share custody of your children, what are you plans with regard to getting your children if SHTF? DO have a plan in place with your co-parent?

My son's dad has zero disaster plans in place. When I try to discuss putting together some supplies for his house he just laughs and starts talking about Jesus and the Bible and says he will be fine. (I am not dissing religion here, just stating that my son's dad is relying solely on this for survival apparently).

Despite his lack of preparedness, I am torn as to who my son would have a better chance of survival with in a SHTF scenario. His dad is very mechanically inclined and knows how to fix things (has spent 40 years in the helicopter industry repairing helicopters) is physically stronger and is generally more capable than I am in almost any survival scenario. That being said, I do seem to be able to carry our son for longer periods of time without needing to set him down, I am 20 years younger than him and don't need as much rest, and I seem to be the only one of us coming up with a plan and stocking up on water and food.

So, I am really at a loss as to what to do if my son is with his dad at the time of SHTF. He lives about 20 minutes away and I would need to act quick. If I show up at his house asking for my son, I do not think he will even give him up and I wouldn't put it past him to put a bullet in my head if the world is coming to an end and he can get away with it.

This dilemma regarding my son is becoming a huge issue for me in moving forward with formulating a solid disaster plan.
