Custody Orders have wording that is often used by the BM to manipulate orders to her liking.. ex: From two weeks after school dismisses for the summer vacation until 1 week before school begins in the fall, the minor children shall reside with MH.  next follows  BM may have 2 weeks of consecutive vvisitation with the minor child during the summer months.  Our understanding is that the word shall means..  the court orders that this is to take place and the meaning of "may" is this is not court ordered and does not have to take place without being held in contempt of the order.

the court order is very vague and does not define visitation. can someone define visitation? do it always have to be an overnight stay or could it simply be a few hours each day?

In recent months bm has been posting comments on facebook in reference to MH.  Recently BM claimed MH wouldn't negotiate to modify custody orders, when MH tried she barely responded and then without notice stopped responding later claiming she went to bed.  A family member gave their Facebook log in information that has allowed MH to see information he feels will support his case.  We have been able to print off photos and even got photos from her boyfriend's facebook page with him smoking marijuana.  In fact, MH confronted him about this which he admitted that he gets high. MH told him I not to do it in front of his kids.  the boyfriend  gets in the BM car and turns to the kids and ask do I get high in front of ya'll...  MH is furious that he would even ask a question of his kids like that.. He has asked his lawyer to call him in to court.  We even thought to bring our laptop to court and ask the judge to order the BM to pull up her facebook account in court
