Most Parenting Plans have similar language that includes travel time lines like you have to give the other parent 30 days written notice and an itinerary within 15 days of travel including flight information details.

But…did you know BOTH parents have to sign a minor’s passport application?

😩 What if one parent refuses?

Well, you could just wait to travel to Greece until after your son turned 18 to avoid the bulls*t. Or…

“Both parents shall cooperate and properly execute a passport application when presented by the other parent. The presenting parent shall pay for said application (or the parties shall equally split said cost). The father shall hold the minors passport in odd years and the mother shall hold it in even years. Upon written request, the holding parent shall provide the passport within 24 hours and return it 24 hours after return of trip.”

Enjoy your trip!!

Does your Parenting Plan carve out time for the parents’ birthdays or just the child’s birthday?

It’s definitely something to consider. I mean as we get older, is OUR birthday that important to the Parenting Plan? Don’t you normally just go to dinner and maybe order dessert? Don’t you just celebrate on the weekend anyway? If you do celebrate with a bang, isn’t it more of an adult party rather than a timesharing issue?

What’s your thought? Put it on? Or leave it off?

And…it really is my birthday!! 🎂 🎈 🤪

My favorite thing about practicing family law is the excitement every day brings…the emergency motions, opposing counsels who refuse to coordinate hearings, clients who make appointments and forget to show, threats from opposing counsel to unilaterally set mediation if not responded to within 20 minutes, financial affidavits that show $1000 for miscellaneous expenses, judges who demand orders drafted over the weekend, unrepresented parties using Chat GPT.

I miss my iced coffee lattes. 🤦🏻‍♀️😩🤬
