The father and I have the alternate weekend parenting plan. During summer he has two consecutive weeks with our 8 year old son. We mediated and agreed that he may split those two weeks to one at a time. Our order says we follow the regular schedule (alternate weekend) during summer as well. He may select the two weeks of his choice. He is wanting to select both of his “split two weeks” to begin both on my weekends so that he has 5 weekends in a row. I don’t see this right. We follow the alternate schedule during summer and weekends with our son are important to me just as much and I would not agree to giving them up so he can have 5 weekends in a row. My ex is a VERY conflictive person and can not co parent. I have asked for clarification on this but the courts are currently closed. I understand I lose my weekend if he gets his two weeks consecutive. But to have 5 weekends in a row doesn’t seem right. Before this causes a huge problem with summer coming, can I get an advice please? Thank you
Summer parenting time can get confusing, and it is likely going to get more complicated with the Covid-19 shutdowns and so on.
However, I think on the standard schedule, if he splits his time up, he will be able to pick-up weekends during what would normally be your time. But it is all language specific.
Did you have a lawyer when you came up with the mediated agreement? It is worth having someone review the entire agreement to see what your options are.
