What is the name of your state? LA

My X-husband lives in NY and gets the majority of the summer visitation. I am, per the court order, to have two weeks in the summer visitation. There are no set dates. Okay, I am going to try to just include relevant information. I informed him of the dates I wanted, which were picked because they are in the middle of his visitation. He told me those dates interfered with a vacation they had planned. Okay. I asked him when he would be getting back from vacation (he is in the navy) and he refuses to give me that information saying that my visitation will start from June 28. My daughter goes up there on June 14. This is too soon for her to come back. I offered to let him have all his summer time at once, and she would return 2 weeks early, thus I would be taking my visitation on the end. He won't agree to that either.

My question is, don't I get to pick my dates for my visitation? I am willing to schedule around the vacation he wants to take, but he is not willing. I told him once my visitation is denied, I will be filing contempt charges and told him I will be notifying him of my vacation dates by Certified Letter. He said that it isn't cotempt because he doesn't agree to any of my dates. I think you get this picture. Back to my questions:

1- Does he get to solely decide when my 2 weeks of summer visitation are?

2- Can I file cotempt once he doesn't produce her at the airport, once I notify him of the dates I am taking?

Thanks for your help!

Why were no set dates included in the court order?

Why is it to soon for her to come back for your two week visit? Also what does it say in your papers about notifying him about the dates you want the child for your two weeks?
