Oklahoma City, OK asked in Family Law for Oklahoma

Q: Can ex just decide to change what day we use to determine 5th or 1st wknd for visitation after 9 years?

We have always (for 9 yrs) used Saturday's date to determine if it was the 1st or 5th wknd of the month. I get the first 3 wknds. She gets 4th and 5th. Now that I would actually get my daughter on Halloween for the first time since 2008, she has decided to change it to Friday making it her 5th wknd rather than my 1st wknd of the month. What can be done about this? I know some sites do state that Friday determines the wknd, but our decree isn't clear, and I can't find one for Oklahoma. We have always gone by Saturday's date up until now and that is just because she wants to be selfish. My daughter cried and begged her to be able to go with my other children this year, but her mother doesn't care.

A: Depends, if you have a joint custody agreement then you probably have a good argument for keeping the schedule as it was.
