Yea -- this one left me confused a bit too..

Per ORDER it's one thing.

Per CONTRACT signed later it's another.


It's within the court order.

Custody is now joint. rotating every week, with the parents living approx. 200 miles apart. 

Per custody order, if mother does not move back to child's hometown, child will attend school with mother.  The father who lives in the child's hometown would have every other weekend and keep the child during all holiday time to maintain joint custody.  Mother signed a contract that she would move to the child's hometown after the first school year or father would have primary physical custody.  However, mother got divorced unexpectedly, is unemployed, and has 1 other younger child she is unable to maintain on her own and is now going to be moving another 50 miles further away, to be closer to her family in the middle of the school year.  Both parents want the child to have a very stable school environment,  so mother is going to let her daughter live with the father for the school year, but wants to maintain joint custody by keeping the child every other weekend and for all holiday time, just as Father requested.  Father doesn't like this arrangement.  Father originally wanted all breaks and holidays because he has weekends and holidays off work, and the only time his daughter gets to see the father's family (who live far away) is during holidays.  He wants to rotate holidays, and have some time off each year with his daughter.

If the mother agrees to this arrangement will she lose joint custody, and/or child support payments?
How would this scenario likely work out in court?
