Visitation (PLEASE HELP)

Our decree says;

Summer Weeknd Poss. by ''mom'' - If ''mom'' gives ''dad'' written notice by April 15 of a yr, ''mom'' shall have poss. of the child on any 1 weeknd beginning @6pm on Fri & ending @6pm on the following Sun. during any 1 period of the extended summer poss. by ''dad'' in that year, provided that ''mom'' picks up child from ''dad'' and returns child to that same place & that the weeknd so designated does not interfere w/ fathers day wknd.

Extended Summer Poss by ''mom'' - If ''mom'' gives ''dad'' written notice by April 15 of a yr or gives ''dad'' 14 days written notice on or after Apr 16of a yr, ''mom'' may designate 1 wknd beginning no earlier than the day after childs school is dismissed for summer vac and ending no later than 7 days before school resumes at the end of summer vac, during which an otherwise scheduled wknd period of possession by ''dad'' shall not take place in that yr, provided that the wknd so designated does not interfere w/ ''dads'' period or periods of summer poss or fathers day wknd.

''Dad'' is only getting child July 1 - 31. ''mom'' says she can get child on JUNE 16 (which is my wknd & my Thursday) and also July 25-27 (which is ok). Is ''mom'' really able to get child on ''dads'' wknd in JUNE & starting on ''dads'' Thursday??

Not sure what you mean. June 16 is a Monday - the Monday after Father's Day.

Mom cannot say you cannot have the children on Father's Day weekend. Father's Day weekend is not really part of summer possession.
