My ex and i have been divorced for 11 yrs. Have custody orders but he always missreads them. I called him in Feb. to let him know that this year the bible camp my daughter attends (attended past 3 yrs.) begins on his bithday this year. I asked him if he would like to arrange extra time with my daughter due to this conflict. He stated we would discuss it as time came closer. I also asked him to please let me know his summer vacation plans by May 30th so I could get the early discount for summer camp. I never heard from him so I booked her summer and Prepaid for all the camps she will be attending and sent him a letter on 6/1/08 explaining her summer schedule. He recieved my letter and disreguarded it and sent me a letter 6/11/08 stating he would be taking his vacation the week of bible camp and the week after. I called him after I recieved the letter and reminded him she would be at camp and asked him to please chose anther time because my daughter loves attedning bible camp. He said that is when he was taking his vacation and there was nothing I could do about it! and hung up on me. Is there any one who can help me. My daughter is really upset that she might not be able to go to bible camp!!

What can I do next?

First, keep all your communication regarding custody to emails, so you have a copy with a date stamp. Second, get a good lawyer. I have been using Neil Olsen in Torrance. He is Fantastic! His numb.er is ###-###-####
Third, relax. You did your job and made every effort to communicate with him. He will either have to change his vacation or go without her. If he tries to argue, tell him to take it up with the lawyer. You gave him plenty of time to co-ordinate plans. The onus is on him.

By staying firm and remaining calm you will defuse his control games and hopefully provide comfort and stability for your daughter.

My son has been doing a lot better since I quit letting my ex boss me around. And frankly, my ex is calmer too, because he knows that is the only way he will get anything.

Too bad there aren't mediators that could help negate the disagreements between parents on these issues. There is alot of anger on his part just from thinking you are in control of ANY aspect of his life. Especially his daughter and his vacation. She may have to miss the camp at church this year unfortunately. No easy way to work with someone so angry. Stay within the parameters of the law agreement and work with an attorney to create a better and updated arrangement. Can you daughter talk to her Dad? She must be over 11 years or so. Hate to put them in the middle. Good luck Deb
