This holiday season my ex is to keep the kids for xmas break while I travel out of state, court order. He is allowed to travel too when he has them, but wants to take them to Mex and I am scared something may happen to them. I made travel arrangements and told my ex about them. My ex said if I don't give him a letter to travel w the kids, he will not receive them. I travel in 1 wk. Can he take me to court in less than 1 wk and make me keep them or not? He is very coniving and always trying to ruin my plans. Please give me advice.

Lets see if I understand this. Ex is supposed to get the kids, he wants to take them to Mexico, he needs a letter from you, and said he won't RECIEVE them if he does not have the letter. So, give him the LETTER, and all should be fine.
Has he ever run off with them and NOT returned them?

I'd certianly put the return date in the letter if you're that afraid but I'm not sure why you would be. Is he a national of Mexico? Doesn't he have other ties to the area that would bring him back? Do the kids have passports? They would need those to go to Mexico now. If they do that tells me one or both of you have traveled out of the counrty before so why is there an issue now?
No, he more than likely can't take you to court in a week to get the letter and he wouldn't have to take you to court to ruin your plans. He can just not be available. There is nothing to say an NCP has to take their parenting time.

No, honestly, I think she is being a B!TCH.
He needs the letter to take them on vacation, probably PAID for already, and SHE is withholdingthe letter. So he can SIT at his house with them, cause he can't go on the VACATION he planned, or he can leave them with her and go.
Seems pretty FAIR to me, if SHE wants to ruin HIS plans, he will do it right back.

I didn't say it wasn't fair for him to ruin her plans if she is going to withhold the letter for no good reason. I was just wondering if there is a reason she is so afraid. If he's not from Mexico and he has a job and family in the area they live she is being totaly ridiculous. Could something happen to the kids? Sure it's possible but something could happen if he stays home with them too. It doesn't seem to be an issue of them being with dad, just him not taking them someplace.
As I said he doesn't have to take her to court to ruin her plans. He can just not be there. I also asked if they had passports because if they do then it's already obvious she doesn't have a problem with them leaving the country. If they don't it's a moot point anyway because they won't be going to Mexico without one and it's highly unlikely they will get one in less than 2 weeks.

I bet you are proud that you have so much CONTROL over him. It is sad that YOU think YOU should be able to control so much. I hope it comes back and bites you on the ass...people like you usually have that happen.

I am afraid that most courts would find your generalized fears about Mexico unfounded without more. Without some restriction on travel in your court order, you risk looking like you are denying parenting time.

I understand your fears cause my kids father is taking my kids on a cruise to Mexico this summer, but you just have to suckk it up. There is nothing you can do, if you deny him the visitation then you get in trouble. Just let them go and hope they have a good time!
