Can My Ex- Let His Girlfriend Take Our Child on a Vacation Without Him
My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Ohio.
Okay, my question is:
Can my ex's live in girlfriend take my daughter out of state during his summer vacation? He will not be accompanying them on this trip 900 miles away.
Last year my daughter called me from South Carolina and said her dad wasn't with her and I blew a gasket! He apparently thinks the law doesn't apply to them because he's trying to do it again this summer.

What he does on his time and for his vacation matters not. As long as he complies with the court order, he can allow his live in girlfriend to take the child out of state. Why do you think you have a right to control him and what he does? And what "law" do you believe he is violating?

I agree. However, its not something that I think any truly good co-parent would do over the objection of the other parent. Its just tacky on the part of the girlfriend as well.

Does mom do anything over the objection of dad?

"Hi, Susan, it's Jack. Hey, you know I've been dating again - her name is Lucy. Little Johnny may have mentioned her - they've met a few times. Lucy is taking her three kids to DisneyWorld over spring break and she's offered to take Johnny as well. I can't go because I have that sales conference in San Antonio that week, but Lucy's middle son Kevin is the same age as Johnny and they get along great."
I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time understanding why this is a problem. I do get that Jack didn't tell Susan in advance, and yes, he should have. But I'm still not seeing that either Jack or Lucy did anything actually wrong, even if they didn't handle it in the best way possible.

If I were the girlfriend, I would have asked mom's permission to take the child on vacation with me. However, that is just me. Also, there was no mention of other children.

It's an example, L. You remember examples, right?

Why? Why on earth would you get yourself embroiled into their mess? You're not the parent - Dad has decided to include a mini vacation involving not him, but his girlfriend. He doesn't need permission. Does Mom's husband new/latest husband/boyfriend, do they have to call Dad to ask his permission?
Girlfriend is "obeying" Dad's wishes. Tell me again why the girlfriend should be involved?
