Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
As per Court order, for summer child visitation, both parents are suppose to have half of the summer.Half of the summer will be 5 wks per parent. "Mother may select half(consecutive weeks)of the sumemr break. Mother should advise the father in writng by April of each year. In the event of an conflict, the mother shall have priorty if odd years and father priorty in even years. Should child obtain employment evenings, weekends, or summer this should be given priorty in parental visits." I have chosen the latter half of the summer, in which our child has Band camp for 3 weeks(July 17th-Aug 5th), to save my ex-husband a trip of 1 hour per day(he lives in a differnet county). The conflict is that the child also has boyscout camp June 25th-July2 and 1 week of paid vacation June 11th-18th. If my Ex-husband refuse to allow the child to attend the boyscout camp and vacation what is my re-course? This year is a conflict due to camps and maynot be consecutive weeks, but each parent will have 5 wks. I have notified my ex-husband in writing twice and no response, 1st regular mail, 2nd certified mail and still he has not pick up the mail.

If that is the exact language of the visitation, you either had a horrible lawyer or made the gigantic mistake of writing it without a lawyer, because the language is sloppy and imprecise and is designed to land two uncooperative parents in court again.
See a lawyer to determine if there even is a course of action. The agreement should have had specific language and doesn't, and that is likely only to be fixable by parental cooperation or by spending a lot of money to obtain lawyers and go back to court.
I should note that you may be responding to a non-existant problem. How do you know your ex will refuse to let the child go to camp and vacation?
