Kankakee, IL asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Illinois

Q: Our parental order states that w must respond to all requests within 48 hours. My ex sent a message that stated the date

school starts and when the school schedule starts(parental school schedule). Our school schedule is outlined in our court order so I didn't see the message as a request but a failure on my exs part to read the order, based off past messages. This is the message: " x's school starts on month date, the school schedule starts this day"

My ex claims I failed to answer their request in the 48 hours so they can do what they want. The order states: "if the receiving parent does not respond to the request in 48 hours then the requesting parent can continue with the request".

I explained that I expect the schedule to start per our agreement. My ex told me that's not how it works.

Do I wait until the children are not dropped off for legal action or continue to justify our court order?

Thanks -frustrated
