[quote=Anonymous]As a practical matter, you can put anything you want into the custody agreement.  But, for occasional and minor deviations from the agreement, there isn't going to be a thing that you can do.  It is prohibitively expensive to take your ex to court so you aren't likely to do it over something like this.  And, even if you did, most judges are going to read you the riot act for wasting the court's time.  You might want to focus on reaching some sort of agreement that you can both live with.

FWIW, IMO this is a problem once you hit high school and attendance matters to the grade your child gets in the class.  (Grades are lowered for unexcused absences).  It might also matter in MS for tests, but the consequences of a lower grade are not so great.  As far as ES, well, except for things that are important to your child, like certain parties and field trips, it probably doesn't matter to miss some school unless your child is a struggling student.  And, remember, there might come a time when something important comes up for you and you want to take your daughter out of school.

I guess what I am saying is that you should probably try to re-channel your energy into something that you can control and save your fights for those things that really matter.   [/quote]
