My question involves a child custody case from the State of: FLORIDA

Our Parenting Plan says the following with regard to out of country travel:

" Either parent may travel out of the country with the child during his or her time sharing but must receive written consent from the other parent first. At least 30 days prior to traveling, the parent shall provide a detailed itinerary, including locations, and telephone numbers where the child and parent may be reached during the trip. Each parent agrees to provide whatever documentation is necessary for the other parent to take the child out of the country"

Does this mean:

A. Either parent MUST give written consent to the other parent so that said parent can take child out of the country.

or

B. Either parent cannot travel out of the country with the child without the other parent's consent.
Due to the bolded sentence, I disagree with all of the other responses that you received. The bolded statement clearly indicates that you are required to provide all of the necessary documentation, therefore that means, in my opinion, that you are required to consent to normal and ordinary vacations.

And yes, it does benefit the child to have contact with extended family, even at that age.
