I would like your opinions on this...
The custodial parent (CP) wants to have say in the non-custodial parent's (NCP) vacation time with the child.
The CP has demanded (not even requested) that she be informed of all trips and activities the child will be involved in during his summer vacation with the NCP. She not only expects to be informed, she is demanding that she be consulted about the activities prior to any enrollment or confirmation of plans. She claims that as the CP, she has the right to be involved in such decision-making.
The NCP has kindly reminded her that unless she helps share the costs of the activities (i.e. summer camps, excursions), what is planned during the NCP's vacation time with the child is up to the NCP's discretion. Especially if the NCP is covering the entire expense.
The CP clearly indicated that she does not intent to help cover the costs of summer camps or activities during the NCP's vacation period with the child, but still expects that the NCP consults with her prior to enrolling the child in any camps or programs.
What do you think of this expectation? Any suggestions for a response?
PS: The NCP understands that he is to provide travel/contact information for any long-distance trips. But summer day camps? Come on!
