Need opinion on interpretation of parenting plan wording
wrote in message . theremailer.net... Ok, in my parenting plan, under "parenting time/vacation schedule" one of the paragraphs reads: "At any time that the children have 3 days off from school, instead of Columbus Day, father shall have the children in his custody from the Friday of said 3 day weekend at 6pm until the Monday of said 3 day weekend at 6pm." I'm seeking feedback on how a "reasonable person" would interpret this paragraph....and/or, for opinions on how a judge or attorney would interpret it. Yes, I know the "instead of" part makes no grammatical sense whatsoever....this part was insisted upon by bipolar ex-wife who didn't even graduate high school but thinks she has a Masters degree, LOL My guess is the "instead of" refers back to your previous custody/visitation agreement. IOW - Instead of you having the children on the upcoming Columbus Day weekend as detailed under the old agreement, the new alternating 3 day weekend takes effect immediately and changes the old agreement for Columbus Day weekends. |

He didn't mention anything about any "new alternating" 3 day weekend. |

He didn't mention anything about any "new alternating" 3 day weekend. True. But that paragraph is just "one of the paragraphs" related to "parenting time/vacation schedule". And, of course, we all know "custody" does not change during visitation periods as the paragraph posted seems to indicate. These agreements come down to what the parents have mutually agreed to in the full agreement as opposed to literal interpretation of the words in an isolated paragraph. |
