A: The judgment should provide guidance in answering this question. The court wants the parent spending time with the child. There might be a right of first refusal in your judgment. The mother might be able to have the right to spend time with the child while you're out of town. The age of the child can factor into the analysis as well. There is no bright line answer. More facts are required to provide a thorough analysis. Most family law attorneys offer a free initial consultation, and you should take advantage of it.
