How can you file "contempt" against the school when they are not a party to your divorce decree?

You have to file a separate law suit to sue them in civilian court.

Ask soc about this....

You know, if that's the answer you got from the county board of education's attorney, I'd suggest going above their heads and write the STATE Board of Education and file a complaint with them.  

Go over their heads....

And actually, I'm trying to think how Soc put it once...  They're overstepping their authority when something is spelled out in a civil court order.

Then I guess, so far with two weddings behind us, we did good.

For OSD's wedding, her mother refused to come to town.  Her choice, she missed out.

For my OD's wedding, her dad and step-mom came to town.  Step-dad did not wear a tux, only a corsage.  Dad (rightfully so) walked her down the aisle and gave her away.  He and step-mom sat on the groom's side first row (along with the groom's mother -- and groom's father is deceased).

I sat on the other side along with my husband.

Worked out just fine because we all put OD first.....

And then following the right link.

Glad that you found this site!!!

I too was stationed in Turkey but way back and it feels funny right now to say it was from 81-83.....retired now.

As I read your post, I was thinking this.....(honestly)....step one has actually already been accomplished when I read that your kids have already been overseas with you for a month while you were in Germany.  That means they have valid passports for international travel.  MANY folks run into this hurdle because the law now requires both parents to get passports.

I also think that it sets a precedence....and that's not good for her.

As I read your post -- and look at the calendar, I have to ask...  Where are the kids now?  Most schools are gonna be back in session in 4-6 weeks....so did she allow them to come at all or are you still "working that issue?"

I also agree with you that experiencing Turkey would be wonderful for them -- it's the closest thing you can safely do for them that is remotely like an unaccompanied tour because of how behind that country is in many things.  

If you do miss out on seeing them, the ONLY thing you can really do is to take the whole thing back to court....and unfortunately by then you will have missed out on the summer....but maybe the judge will clearly give you the time back over the next years (like by increasing your time in the summer permanently or something).

On the other hand -- I can also see your EX being totally concerned about TURKEY!  That's so close in most people's minds to everythng going on over there.....just keep that in the back of your mind.   I had both positive and creepy experiences off base over there -- so I think I understand both sides.  

(Last I heard too was that AFPC was not allowing families over there -- guess that changed.  I have a friend stationed over there coming back next month who couldn't take the family back in May 03 -- so consider yourself luck not to be on an unaccompanied tour!)

Good luck and like PD gave you -- read through the links....

If the NV State code says something similar since DH's EX coached the three kids into lying about their testimony during their 10+ ride to the court house back in 2000.....  

And since his case is at the Supreme Court, every judgement that Judge S made is under appeal since he is a friend of the family.....

Think about driving down and flying back north, fly south and drive back....sounds complicated, but it's not.

Check out AirTran!!!

You have a PM too!

Your state's laws probably say she has to notify you and if you don't "object" via court action, off she goes.

Kitty is right -- anything that's not in the current order that you want identified (like travel expenses) needs to be addressed in court -- NOW.
