Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

My ex wife and I have always been amenable for the last 8 years of scheduling summer vacation on the year we get to choose first by picking days around say 4th of July, when she first gets out of school, her birthday and a few days before she returns to school. Now, for whatever reason she is insisting we only get to choose 3 week blocks instead of equal number of days broken up.breaking the days up helps me coordinate off time from my job that will maximize my time with my daughter. It's been fine for 8 years up until now. The agreement speaks to what can and cannot be done but fails to mention this as something that cannot be done. She said she will not honor my summer schedule unless I choose full weeks. Should u push back? This makes it very difficult for me to maximize my time with her.

She can insist you follow the agreement exactly. While you can propose a variation, as you have, you cannot impose it. So unless you want to pay a lawyer and seek viistation, you get to follow exactly what the agreement says. Since you have a pattern of doing it another way, a modification may help, but plan to spend a few thousand in legal fees. What would help in a case like this would be if I could read your agreement. In some cases a good lawyer letter, which would be inexpensive, might get you what you want without an expensive modification.
