summer visitation days
My Ex has two weekend visitation during my extended summer visitation of which are 42 consecutive days.
Q1- Doesn't her two weekend visits take away from my 42 days?
Q2- Am I in contempt if we already have pre-paid (out of town) plans, during one of her choice of weekends, and need to have her choose another weekend?
Q3-she has requested her 21 extended summer vacation at the end of our 42 days; Am I entitled to
have my regular visitation weekends or a designated weekend during those 21 days???

Re: summer visitation days
First, read your decree.
Most decrees do not specify that the summer visitation is 42 days, but sets forth a specific schedule if the ex does not choose specific dates by April 1. The ex is entitled to her weekends during the during the extended summer visitation, and you shouldn't have booked prepaid tickets during her visitations. She could file a petition for contempt if she chooses to. If the decree provides for visitation for you during her extended summer, then you get them.
This is an excellent opportunity for the two of you to compromise and work out a reasonable solution so that summer isn't ruined for the kids.
