My daughters father is allowed two non-consecutive vacation weeks with her during the summer. One week is supposed to be a week when he would not normally have her at all and the other week is a week when he would normally have her for 4 of the 7 days regardless of vacation. He says he is entitled to have her 14 extra days of the summer. I say 10 extra (2 weeks of 7 days each less the 4 he would normally have her). He is making plans to take her away for more days than he is allowed. What can I do about this? He refuses to even hear my side or consider swapping days so if he takes her an extra two days he gives up two somewhere down the road. I would like to avoid a costly battle but want my rights.What is the name of your state?

Before anyone can give you any advice, you need to let us know the exact wording of your custody order... specifically what it says about summer possession.

If the orders clearly outline the weeks and dates , then that's all he gets regardless if some of that 1 week falls on his "normal " visitation days . If you want to give him an extra 4 days so be it .

Neither you can change Court Ordered visitations unilaterally for the Child .

Given that I'm the one with 2 weeks in the summer (granted, I am CP so I get them the rest of the time), yes it astounds me.

You COULD quit being so petty about the matter and just let the father take HIS child on vacation.

I'm betting you have the child 90% of the time, yet you are still b*tching about 2 freakin' days! If the 2 of you can't sit down and come to a peaceful agreement, court is the only option. But before you go dragging him back to court and starting an all out war over 2 DAYS, ask yourself if this is REALLY the hill you want to die on. You are going to have to deal with dad for many years to come and you really should chose your battles wisely.

I have my kids 365 days a year (366 during leap years) and I'm amazed at the pettiness of some people.
