Answer:

As an experienced Saratoga Child Custody Lawyer I am often asked this type of question.  What is permitted can be determined by looking at your custody order or agreement. If the other parent is infringing upon your time or if there is a refusal to provide notice and an itinerary for overnight trips, you can file a modification petition in Family Court and seek to have those provisions added to your order.
