I have a chance to work overseas for several months and am considering whether it would work in terms of my visitation arrangement with my ex husband. My daughter is 9, almost 10 and spends one weekend a month with dad, half on winter break, all of spring break, and six weeks in the summer. The period overseas would be from mid- April to July, and Dad gets summer visits from June 15th through July 31st. If my daughter came with me, Dad would miss only two weekend visits. This would follow a 2 week stay during spring break. I would be happy to give him extra time during the summer to compensate for the lost visits and of course also cover all travel expenses.
I've spoken to my daughter's current teacher and school principal, both of whom were very supportive (she goes to a private school that is very international; kids start foreign language in third grade, etc.) and we talked of ways for her to finish up the school year, by submitting work via e-mail, etc.
So my questions is whether this seems overtly unfair to dad and whether a judge might look sympathetically on this plan.
