Q: I have a court ordered agreement with my daughters mother that during summer break from school we alternate weeks.
Due to covid 19 the last day of school was changed to May 21st. If covid 19 had not closed schools the last day would have been June 3rd. The mother is trying to argue that it doesn't matter that the last day was changed and we are still following the schedule as if the last day of school is Jund 3rd.
A: If the official date of the end of school got changed, for whatever reason it got changed, that is the start of summer break. So you'll just have to work it out with the mother. If she doesn't agree, you could file with the court to have her held in contempt. But courts are currently in reduced operating mode because of the virus lockdown, so even if you filed with the court, it wouldn't get resolved for weeks or longer. And courts are going to be jammed up, and not likely to be receptive to claims that appear to be minor. And your parenting agreement might require mediation of any disputes before going to court. So check if that is required first.
