I am looking for some advice on a vacation request that is being denied/held up.
We have a court order that gives each of us 1 week of time in the summer, and allows us to travel outside of Canada with written consent.
In April I requested a specific week to take my child on vacation to Disneyland. I sent a written request, it followed all the rules in our court order. He argued for months but finally gave me consent via text (and verbally) in June. Following this I purchase the flight and booked a hotel. Now, 4 weeks before the vacation he is refusing to sign the travel consent letter, even though I recorded a conversation 2 weeks ago where he agreed to go sign the papers at the lawyer. He claims it is unfair for me to take our daughter away so he can’t see her on her birthday. I have arranged to be at Disney on her birthday, and since we are returning the next day he could potentially see her the following day.
I have been debating for a while to go back to court. It has been 5 years and there are still a LOT of problems, including parental alienation and aggressive parenting on his part.
However, this vacation is the first thing that needs to be dealt with. I have the basis to prove he is intentionally holding up our plans but I don’t know what I need to do/what to file (motion? Contempt?) in order to get permission to go. Thanks for the help!
