Legal Question in Family Law in California
Modification of Visitation Schedule
Current visitation was set 4 years ago. My ex-husband & I have recently agreed to modify it via email communications. I am afraid that if I fulfil my part of the new agreement he may later decide to revert back to the original court ordered agreement, causing me to have to pay for a visitation that I would not have to pay for under the new agreement. Would the court recognize the emailed agreement or would it only recognize the previous court ordered agreement? (This involves who pays for plane tickets since we live in different states.)

In a general sense, you need to prepare a stipulation and order to modify the prior court order. You both would sign it, and then file it with the court for the judge to sign. Then your agreement will become a court order.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
