I haven’t responded to my ex’s inquiry about taking our two daughters overseas for winter break. According to our court orders, we split holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) each year. She had the kids for Thanksgiving, and she plans to take them from 12/18 to 12/28. If I decide to say no, when do I need to give her an answer by?
It’s best to respond as soon as possible, ideally before she makes any arrangements. Check your custody agreement for any deadlines.
Usually, there are timelines for notifying the other parent about objections. If you’re against it, let her know immediately.
Consider the best interests of your daughters in your decision. If you object, it’s important to communicate quickly.
If you wait too long, it might look like you consented. Respond soon, even if it’s just to say you’re considering it.
Consult your custody agreement or a lawyer if you’re unsure about timelines or implications of your response.
