Child Custody Vacation Agreement

Summary

In Arizona, child custody agreements typically require both parents to agree on vacation time. If the agreement specifies mutual consent, one parent cannot unilaterally decide on vacation plans. If you wish to modify the agreement to allow for two consecutive weeks of vacation, you may need to seek court approval. Consider consulting a family law attorney for guidance on modifying or enforcing your parenting plan.
