Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

I have a clause in my divorce papers that reads: IN THE EVENT THAT PARTIES CANNOT COME TO AN AGREEMENT REGARDING ANY MAJOR DECISIONS THE WIFE SHALL HAVE THE FINAL DECISION MAKING AUTHORITY AND HER DECISION SHALL BE LEGAL AND BINDING UPON THE HUSBAND.

Does this mean that if I decide to let my son play football (because he asked to and because he WANTS to), provide a schedule for the season so that my ex is informed of the games that are on his weekend visitations, and my ex refuses to bring hin to his games that he is in contempt and I cantake furhter action?

The information you posted is insufficient to answer.

What you did post sounds like you probably can make a decision as to football (depending in part on language that also must be there that you did not give us).

However, that doesn't mean HE has to transport the child, unless your visitation paperwork so provides, and if football happens during his visitations, absent more language, you have a problem. I would suggest you see the lawyer who represented you and discuss this fully as the entire agreement will have a bearing on the answer.
