    Default Mother Refuses to Inform Father of Destination or Contact Information for Vacation

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

    My ex wife an I have joint custody, and reasonable visitation. She is the primary care taker.
    She texted me tonight saying "I'm taking the kids on vacation" I asked "where and how long?" She said "you can just wonder"

    Since we have joint custody Is she required to tell me where she is taking our kids and for how long?

    Will her "jaunt" interfere with your court ordered visitation? "Reasonable visitation" is a misnomer for "yank the non residential parents chain".

    Unless your court order specifically says she must give you that information, then no.

    If her little vacation prevents you from having your court ordered visitation, you can take her to court for contempt.

    However, you said "reasonable visitation" which leads me to believe your court order may leave visitation up to her.
