What exactly does your custody agreement cover? I'm assuming you have a visitation schedule set up? If so, what are the terms?

I do not agree with gr8dad that because she is 9, her opinion doesn't count. That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. Children are not a piece of property; they are human beings with feelings and emotions just like everyone else! Children generally *love* to visit with their parents, especially the NCP, because they don't get to see them as often. When the children adamantly state that they do *not* want to go, that usually means that there is some sort of problem that needs to be resolved. What I don't understand, is why parents insist on *forcing* their children to do something they are not comfortable with in these types of situations. Why can't they take into consideration their children's feelings?

If you legally have to make her go, then there is really no way of getting around it. (which is why I asked about your court order) You don't want to end up being in contempt of court.

Usually, you don't have to get permission to vacation out of state, unless there are extenuating circumstances. However, if you are going to be gone longer than 48 hours, you do need to provide the other parent with an itinerary and phone numbers of where you will be so that they can call to talk to their children if they want to. My ex vacations out of state all the time, (without "permission"), and as long as I have phone numbers of where my son will be, then I don't have a problem with it. It's his parenting time, so he has the freedom to go wherever he chooses. Same for me.

Hope this helps!
