What is the name of your state? California
My husband has joint legal custody of his 11 year old son and 7 year old daughter, they live with their mom in Northern California and we pay to fly them down every other week for my husbands visitations and any other school breaks that he gets. Without going into to much detail, dealing with his ex for the past 5 years has not been easy. The current problem is a disagreement regarding the upcoming summer visitation that my husband gets. Their court papers state that when the kids attend a school that has a traditional school schedule, my husband gets 6 weeks of visitation, broken up into two 3-week periods with two weeks in the middle for their mom. If the kids attend a year round school, my husband and his ex are to split the off-track breaks (including the summer break) 50/50. Here's the catch. The kids have always attended a traditional school until this past year. In the summer of 2004, while the kids were with us, the ex moved to a different area where the elemtary school was a year round school. She had not checked out the schools, so she didn't know until after she moved that it was even year round. So last summer my husband had to cut his visitation short because they had to go back to school sooner due to the new year round school schedule. Now this year, my stepson is going into 6th grade to start junior high. So as of June 24th (last day of school), he is no longer attending the elementary school he is currently at. So my husband gave his notice for this summer based upon the fact that he's going into a traditional school this coming year. The ex is trying to say they have to split it. Just looking for opinions on this situation. My stepson even figured out in his own head that he would at least get his regular with his dad, he's been looking forward to it all year, and now the ex is trying to cause a problem as usual. Thanks!
