Family Law

TheBoz asked:


So just trying to get some help on who to see in a Family Law Court to help me enforce or explain a current visitation schedule for the upcoming holidays..particularly in California, and Orange County to narrow it down.

I have heard the mediators office is the place to seek help, especially since thats where we made the parenting agreement through mediation. But really just trying to make sure, since I dont have too much time left and plan on spending a day at the court house to find my answers.

Problem is to make it short, the other parent is taking advantage of little loopholes in our paperwork just cause its not clearly explained to the “T” on the paperwork about who gets what day and so forth, even though we have alway done it a certain way for the last few years, now cause they are upset of other issues, they want to use that error and try and ruin my holiday plans,Thanksgiving to be exact. The current order clearly says that I get that day and weekend this year.

So if anyone has experience in this,wether in California courts or any at all, or can lead me in the right direction,Id gladly appreciate it, pretty much I need someone to tell me if Im wrong, which Im 99% sure Im not, and if so to give the other parent a call and inform the other parent of my right, so there are no arguments when that day comes and both sides can have problem free Holidays.

Thanks to all and have yourselves Happy Holidays!
Thank you or your response.

The child is 12, yes it was through recent court mediation, and it has been entered as of last month, I already have the paperwork and everything.
Basically the issue at hand is all we really fixed is times on the holiday schedule, all holidays, to be from 10-9 on the same day, except Thanksgiving was always from Thrursday to Sunday, and we had even discussed this after that we forgot to make it clear that Thanksgiving doesnt apply to those times since its always an extended weekend holiday..well until now they were ok with it but now trying to enforce the liitle detail we overlooked and have me return the child at 9 and then pick him up on Friday when the supposed weekend starts. Which I am not one to argue over simple things I rather lose and give up a few hours than to give them the fight, but this puts a damper on my holiday plans with the rest of my family since we were planning on traveling out of the county for the weekend.
