[quote=Anonymous]These are actually family members, not me personally.

Ex-husband wants to take a 6 year old and a just-turned 4 year old to Gulf Shores, AL with his new wife and her two kids (15 and 12) at the end of June. It would be an 11 hour drive.

Cases are spiking in Alabama. The video and pictures from GS last weekend are stunning.

Unfortunately once the youngest is 4 (a week before the planned trip), he is entitled to a week straight with them in the summer, and the custody agreement doesn't say they can't go out of state. However, 2 nights in a row at home is the longest he has ever taken them, and that is maybe once a month. Most weeks he gets them 5 hours one evening and 7 hours one weekend day. He has never traveled anywhere with them - not even a 2 hour day trip to the next largest city with a zoo. He is not the most patient dad and generally grumbles about crowds, so I feel really bad for the kids. It is not going to be a good time.

Sad for the ex-wife, they are being cautious about COVID, not taking the kids with when they go to the grocery store, etc. Although I can't believe her attorney didn't put anything in there about going out of state. They do live in a tri-state area but you could still define a radius outside which the other parent has to approve. [/quote]
