Q: Can a divorced dad with full custody of his 13 yr old son go away on vacation and leave his son with his visiting mom?
A: At first blush I would say yes but is there a reason not to? For instance, do you have custody because the state took it away from her for some reason? Parents and make consensual temporary changes to custody orders. In fact, the court prefers parents working together. Do you have a concern his mother will abuse the extra time? It would be best to talk to a local family attorney but based of the fact you present, which are very few, I would not see a problem.
