[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long from now until you travel?  A lot of courts are still backed up from COVID closures and to some degree smaller dockets so the court is less crowded.  Might want to check with the clerk to make sure you can get a hearing date before your trip.  Hopefully you have a few months before your trip.[/quote]
a little over a month :(
I will call the court, thanks![/quote]

YW.  Personally, I think it is extremely unlikely you are going to be able to get an appearance before your travel date.  Courts usually have a pretty full calendar and it's unlikely they will have extra space just to fit you in like that on such short notice absent a really compelling reason.

You need to talk to a lawyer about the significance of the petition that you referenced.  If it's just a filing by him or his lawyer it probably isn't binding unless a judge signed an order in that regard.  No one here can really help you out because the meaning of some of these terms can be state-specific.  Seriously, just a consult with a lawyer will probably only cost a few hundred bucks and they will probably be able to recommend a solution.  [/quote]

So I contacted the court and they said it's usually 6 weeks out and they don't tend to grant emergency hearings over what they see as vacation travel. I think I will just let the stbx know that he would have to appear in a hearing if he doesn't either take the kid or grant permission to travel, and ask him what he wants to do. 
There is no petition filed by ex. I am not sure what you mean? I am not that dumb and will involve a lawyer when needed, but so far it's pretty straightforward. 
Thanks again!  - OP[/quote]

PP here and you mentioned a petition in your OP that restricts travel.  I don't know what that is either, I'm saying you should ask a lawyer whether it is binding or not.[/quote]
