If i plan my vacation time for the last week in august which is allowed per the court order so long as i provide mom written notice can she then try to plan a vactioj for directly after outside the court alloted vacation time and take our child out if state as the primary parent or is it considered parental kidnapping
Case Rating: *
If the court order specifies that vacation times must be adhered to, any deviation without agreement or modification of the order could be a violation. However, if the mother plans a vacation outside the allotted time without modifying the order, it may not necessarily be considered parental kidnapping but rather a violation of the custody order.
