Washington State
I would like some opinions on how to interpret my parenting plan. I am attending college and so is my ex-husband. He is in a different state than I am. We went to mediation and came up with our parenting plan. Since we knew he would be moving we added several things to the parenting plan after his move. The plan states "Beginning in August of 2016 as long as and when Father moves to (city), (child) will be with Father for one overnight through October 2016. At the beginning of October, Mother and Father will meet with mediator to discuss how overnights with (child) have been going prior to transitioning from one overnight to two overnights."
My ex-husband did not move in August. He moved a few weeks ago and has only had one overnight with our child. He is insisting that our child start staying at his house for two overnights in November. He has a meeting set up with our mediator to discuss how overnights have been going. But there's only been one. My interpretation is that he should have had overnights for all of August and September so that I could tell him how our young 2 year old child is handling the change. I told him that we will meet with the mediator in the middle of November. So now I'm getting threats of contempt and accused of keeping our child from him.
So my question is, what is your interpretation of the line "as long as and when Father . . . . . ." Since he didn't do what was required, does it cancel out the items listed in that paragraph?
