My ex and I live in Florida where we have shared custody. In our parenting plan it states that he has to let me know * wks in advance for any trips. I disagreed as the kids are in school and the trip is on my weekend. He left anyways and refuses to tell me where they are and to allow me make up time.
****, your ex is violating the parenting plan by not informing you in advance and not allowing make-up time. You could file a motion for contempt in family court to address this violation.
Have you considered speaking to a family law attorney to explore your options?

Why is the attorney telling me its not worth my time to file?
The attorney might believe that the effort and cost of filing a motion for contempt may not yield significant results beyond make-up time. However, repeated violations over two years could justify seeking a modification of the parenting plan. Have you documented each violation? This could help demonstrate the need for stronger enforcement.
