My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Florida.
upon other issues, this is my issue at hand. I have a 2 1/2 yr old. The final judgement has A TON of gray areas.
this particular situation is as follows.
General break down...Timesharing is set now to were mother has sole and father gets every other weekend. Father gets child for 6 weeks during the summer, mother switches to every other weekend time sharing. It is agreed that during this time sharing, father must have child in daycare while he works. Father lives hour and a half away so she will be switching to a daycare/preschool down near him.
Problem: Agreeing on daycare. Father is wanting to put her in a religious affiliated (church preschool) daycare. Mother is against the "church" affiliation for daycare. (40 hrs per week)
This is a case that is followed exact word for word of the final judgment by both parties which makes it very difficult as the wording in the whole judgement gets hairy. There are three different sections which this can fall in and we are not sure which to abide by. Agreeing on anything civilly at this point is absolutely out of the question unfortunately.
The three sections are Parental Responsibility and Decision making which is 50/50 and specifically mentions pertaining to education.
Then there is Summer Break Section which specifically words "The father will provide the mother notice of the daycare/program in which HE intends to enroll the child." Here is does not specifically say mother has any say so whatsoever.
The last section which is minor is the Religious Upbringing which states "each parent may provide religious instruction..."
In the decision making section, it gives a name of a parent coordinator to contact in the event that parents cannot agree. I guess the main question at hand is, which section applies and is it time to pull in the PC? the shared responsibility? or the summer break section?
SIGH
Understand our confusion? Any input helps.
Thanks
