What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA, IL
Hi, Jurisdiction is in CA but the kids spend the school year in IL. Joint legal; mother sole physical 70/30 time split.
Father lives very close to mother's relatives. He agreed initially to allow children to see their maternal relatives but now refuses them any access whatsoever (won't even allow children to call their grandmother on her birthday).
The current order states "Mother is to have the children for 8 days in the summer. This time is to remain flexible once Mother gives Father 3 weeks notice and it does not conflict with a previously paid for vacation Father has planned. If Father’s Day falls during Mother’s 8 days, Mother agrees that the children can spend Father’s Day with their Father and that day will be made up the following day so that Mother maintains 8 full days. For future years Mother and Father agree to come to a mutually agreeable summer vacation schedule. Father and Mother agree that is very important for the children to spend time in the summer with both sets of relatives and agree to cooperate and work together in good faith to achieve this."
Is there any way to enforce that last sentence? Thanks!

I'm going to try and draft a new stipulation and come up with something specific and see if Dad will agree and sign.
