A: He cannot deny you if its in the agreement. however Christmas schedules spelled out in the agreement may trump the vacation access. A lawyer would have to read the exact language of the custody access agreement to give an absolute answer. That being said if you have primary custody and there is no conflict you can go irrespective of his denial. Moreover the failure to agree could be grounds to modify a joint custodial arrangement . Your best bet is to consult a family lawyer
