Extende Summer Possesion

If I am understanding this correct, since the mileage distance is less than 100 miles and Std summer visitation is the plan for 2010, the child may be picked up at 6pm on July 1st and returned on July 31st by 6pm. The Parent without the summer posssion, in this case the Mom, may submit in writing by April 15th the one wknd that she would want a wknd visitation beginning on a Friday evening at 6pm and returning the child at 6pm on the following Sunday. Mom is stating she gets two wknds, her choice, out of the std 30 day summer possesion with the dad. She said this would be considered her extended possession and that she will take an additional wknd if the Dad does not allow her to have two wknds out of the 30 day period. Is this your consenses of the verbiage? IF an extended possession had been submitted in writing, by April 1st, the Mom would then be entitle to 2 non consectutive wknds, her choice.
Do I have this correct?

She gets ONE weekend during dad's month of July and she gets another one of dad's weekends, during the rest of the summer, in order to allow her to have an extended period of time with the child as well, to vacation or whatever.

Mom apparently wants two of the weekends during dad's extended summer time, and wants to exchange her other weekend for that. That's up to dad to agree to, or not.

Extended Summer Possession - So unfair

FoFor the Mom to get One wknd out of the month of July summer possession and then gets to steal another wknd of the Summer to have extended makes no sense. She already has the Month of June and Aug with the exception of the normal 1st, 3rd and 5th wknds. The Dad also loses the Thurs visits from 6-8 each week since it is not regular school term. Who designs the unfairness to these DAD's and Kids? Don't tell me it is the papers that was agreed upon. The Draft Decree and Final were so different and this D drug out so long and so painful due the the Mom's control factor that the terminology in the papers contradict itself. :(

"Fair" is in the hands of your elected lawmakers.

Tell them to change the laws or you will vote 'em out.

FA is a legal site. Answer: It's in the paperwork that was agreed upon by Dad and Mom.
