Q: Ex spouse trying to deny me my vacation time that is outline in our agreement. What are my options?
We have a custody agreement that states I get them for 4 consecutive weeks every summer, we are both also entitled to 2 weeks vacation. We don’t not need each other’s permission, we are just required to give 60 days notice. I want to take vacation during the summer obviously because the kids are off school and all other holiday breaks are outlined in the agreement. My ex says she doesn’t agree that I can take the two weeks of vacation on top of the summer parenting time. The agreement says nothing of the sort.
A: Thank you for your question. Unless the agreement indicates otherwise, you can take both your vacation time and summer time in the summer. If your ex is not complying with the agreement, your option is taking the matter to mediation in an attempt to resolve the issues or filing a post judgment application with the courts to enforce your litigants rights. To help you understand your rights and options, I encourage you to schedule an attorney consultation. Make sure you bring your divorce agreement to the consultation.
