Denver, CO asked in Family Law for Colorado

Q: My exwife wants to let my child go outside the country without my consent.

My children, 12 & 10, ex wife and myself all live in colorado. My ex wants to allow our 12 year old to travel outside the country with her boyfriend and a music band. I have consented to them leaving the country before for a family vacation. I do not consent to this trip due to her not having a legal guardian with her. Can I stop her from allowing our daughter to go and how would I do that? We both have parental rights, neither of us have 100% custody.

A: This depends on whether you have joint decision making or if her mother has sole decision making. You should review your parenting plan and follow its provisions for resolving disagreements. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.
