    Disagreement Over Summer Vacation Schedule
    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: TN
    I would really appreciate some help with clarifying this issue. The father of my child lives out of state and gets to see her for six weeks during the summer. Actually, I just signed a new parenting plan agreeing to an extra week during the summer. He was originally only awarded five weeks. I called him last November to ask what weeks he was going to take the following summer so I could plan a Disney World trip. We agreed on me taking her originally from a Sunday to the following Saturday. I then notified him in Feb. that I had changed the dates and we would now be going from Sat. to Sat. He did not have a problem with it. He is allowed to have her for 1 weekend a month as long as he gives me 2 weeks notice and it is "reasonable and mutually agreed upon". He has decided he is coming into town and wants to take her for the first weekend of our vacation. He says that if I do not surrender her to him then he is filling a contempt of court charge. Am I in contempt? Also, he says that the summer is not split into my time and his time. He says that outside of his 6 weeks, he can schedule visitation time with her during my 4 weeks and that is completely legal. Is that true? Thanks for any help!

    You're either in compliance with the court order or you are not. If you are, his threat is meaningless.

    If the issue is that he's trying to change a previously agreed visitation schedule, and you can document his approval of your travel schedule, on its face it would seem silly of him to try to convince a court that you somehow harmed him by planning out-of-state travel based upon his consent to your travel dates.
