Q: can I take my son on vacation with 50/50 custody?
My ex wife and I have 50/50 custody. I work out of town and have an apartment in the town I work in. My wife will not allow me to take my son out of town because she says it’s too far. The only way she lets me see him is if I drive to where they live and stay there. She says our 50/50 custody agreement is only valid in the county we got our divorce in. What should I do?
A: That is ridiculous, so long as it is filed with a court your 50/50 agreement is valid everywhere, not just the county where it is registered. You can take your kid on vacation in accordance to the vacation time awarded you in your parenting plan.
