I am the custodial parent, my ex gets my son for 3 weeks during the summer. During those 3 weeks, I get a weekend, from 6p on friday to 6p on Sunday. I must give my ex notice when I will get my son by April 15th prior to the summer. For the past two years, my ex has refused to tell me where my son will be the weekend I have chosen. He ends up asking me at the last minute to pick another weekend because he has made plans to go out of town. I have accommodated this request and chosen another weekend. I have asked my ex to give me notice once he receives my notice in April. He said he does not have to and he can wait until the day of to tell me where my son is and if I can't travel to see him than that is my problem. Is this fair and why isn't it spelled out better in the decree for uncooperative parents? I have a question for you if you could give me some input.

You should consult with a good family lawyer in your area, who can discuss the details and review the order and payment record with you to tell you for sure.

In a County Court in Texas, at what point do the orders become effective? For example a divorce decree states child support to begin on June 1st however the decree is not signed by the judge until the end of September. If the people are still legally married how can child support be enforced for the period of June - September?? I sure hope you can help answer this question for me or can you point me to someone or some place that can? I have a question for you.
