Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

child custody

Final divorce decree 1/19/07, joint custody with ex husband, I , the mom, have been awarded ''primary physical possession'' of my 14 yr old son. Then this also makes me the ''custodial parent''?

My other question is can my ex plan a month's vacation in the UK with my son and his new live-in without consulting me first? Does he need a letter of permission from me in order to do so? Thanks for your help! EP

Re: child custody

No, you are not the custodial parent if there is jopint custody.

Assuming that the Indiana Parenting Guidelines are referenced in your decree, the answer is yes as long as he follows the guidelines.
