What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan/ Florida
When I went to court this summer, I really thought that I had put an end to the travel woes. The court order that was signed by the judge (in October) states that I am responsible for making and paying for the travel between our two states.
So, I gets this email today:

Now, here is the response I would LIKE to send, but won't cuz I'm not a complete B****.This Itinerary is unacceptable! I didn’t even find this until I went through my Junk mail. Sweetpea should leave on Friday, that’s when Christmas vacation starts. I don’t care if she doesn’t get her at 6 PM (which is what FOC said last court session), but as long as I get here on Friday, instead of Saturday, that is what’s important. You’ve done this before, trying to cut the Monday off another one of her vacations.
I’ve got NOTHING from your lawyer OR the FOC OR from xxxxxx County stating that the last court order was signed. If it has been, you and your lawyer are in contempt – the law states that if she files something under the 7 or 21 day rule, I’m supposed to get a copy of it , and I’m also supposed to get notice of when this goes before a judge. Those are my legal rights, especially since none of your lawyers ever have truthfully made an order to match what the Judge or Referee has said.
I’m tired of you and your lawyer’s games. I have a lawyer and file contempt of court charges just as well as you can, and thanks to your lawyer, I have tons of reasons to.
I expect this ticket to be corrected so that SweetPea flies out on Friday, not Saturday. If not, it’s contempt – very simple. I’m not playing your little mind games any more, nor Older Daughter's either. But I do expect to have my daughter land at (names airport) on Friday.
Short notice? Hmm, you stated in court that you should mail the travel Itinerary postal mail, certified is even better. I don’t know why it went into my junk mail folder, unless you sent it to more than just me (which I stated would send it there), thinking that SweetPea would fly down & I’d not be down to meet her, or me having to spend the money booking the correct ticket & time frames – whatever the reason, correct it.
So, here is a draft of what I'm proposing to send. I rarely am wordy (four line email queen here), but I feel this is worthy of a more elaborate response. I'm looking for feedback. In addition, I don't think either my attorney, nor I, are in contempt of court over this. My order just states that dad gets EOY the Christmas break.You stupid dumbsh**. Your unreasonableness is WHY the judge allowed ME to make the travel arrangements. Can't you get it thru your thick skull that you have to look beyond your narcissitic self and see that there are THREE people involved in these arrangements?
The judge made the decision for ME to make travel arrangements because you are stupid.
The attorney sent out a copy, for review of the order, with a seven day window that allowed for any corrections. This was sent to BOTH parties. After three weeks, with no response, the order was submitted to the judge for signature. I will resend you a copy of the one signed by the judge.
As for the tickets, I reviewed the airline flights from both Closer Airport City and Further Airport City before selecting the ticket that was purchased in October. In addition to that, I took into consideration that you work the afternoon shift in Friday, I work till 5 pm on Friday, and SweetPea doesn't get out of school until 3:55 PM on Friday.
As for Closer Airport City, the only flight that did NOT change planes on Friday, was at 7:30 AM on Friday, so that wasn't going to work. All the flights on Saturday changed planes, so I ruled out Closer Airport City.
I then looked at Further Airport City:
The last non-stop on Friday left at 5 pm, arriving in Northern Clime Airport City at 7:25 PM. This one would entail us leaving our area at 1 pm, which means that I would have to take half-day unpaid Friday, SweetPea is missing half-day school and YOU are also taking a vacation day. That wasn't reasonable without agreement from all parties – I would NOT be agreeing. Therefore, I looked for the FIRST non-stop on Saturday morning; that is the ticket I chose to purchase.
Even if I chose to purchase the 5:55 PM flight, it doesn't really buy much; that plane does stop 2 times. If that flight arrives on time, at 9:25, in Northern Clime Airport City time, which is 10:25 our time. Then, you have 30 minutes till you get luggage, and then a drive about 1.25-1.5 hours (if weather good). So, you get home at maybe 12:30 am. The judge did NOT like those travel times.
In addition, I would like to remind you of all the troubles we had two years ago with the inclement weather that caused SweetPea's flight to be delayed. I am not comfortable with her traveling on a last-flight-of-the-day when we are talking possible snow storms up there. If necessary, we can stay in Further Airport City more comfortably during the day until a flight can leave in the event of a snow storm.
If you can convince the Friend of the Court that Friday is reasonable, then I'll reconsider my choice. Until then, my ticket stands. Since you have replied to me from the eticket sent by Favorite Airlines, you have all the necessary information for pickup.
Signed,
me
Oh Most Reasonable One (just kidding on this line)
