A: You would need to have an attorney look at and interpret your entire parenting plan to give you a specific answer. But from the limited info you gave it sounds like giving notice and location info is all the required. Generally speaking you should always let the other parent know where you and the child are during a visit. it is just common courtesy and they have a right to know. If this clause causes you problems, go back to court and get the parenting plan amended.

A: Without seeing the parenting time plan, as long as you have provided the other party with notice, the language of the plan does not require permission. Normally, permission is not required, and it would be a very restrictive plan if you were not able to take your child out of Lane County during your parenting time.
