A: In Florida, shared parental responsibility means discussing major decisions like health and education. If you have a parenting plan there is a separate section that addresses traveling. Generally, as long as it is his timesharing and he has informed you about the travel he should be able to go. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.

A: You need to take a look at your parenting plan as it should address travel. Usually if a parent wishes to travel with their children during their timesharing they would need to notify the other parent of the dates for travel, the location they are going, tavel information such as flight info etc, as well as a number where they can be reached. If the travel is going to effect the other parents timesharing they would need to have that parents permission for travel during those dates or they can risk being held in contempt for violating the parenting plan. Again, I recommend you look at your parenting plan and if there is any issue contact a local family law attorney to assist you.
