For anyone who may have knowledge on the topic.
My fiancee' has a daughter through a former relationship. They recently finalized their parenting plan. She has primary custody, and the father gets her every other Thursday through Sunday.
The wording of the signed parenting plan states as follows:
"The child will reside with the father every other Thursday by 7:00 PM until Sunday at 8:00 PM. Child will be picked up from school/day care on Thursdays unless it is unavailable or work schedule does not permit, in that case, child is to be picked up from mother by 7:00 PM"
We have had a family outing planned for tomorrow until about 5:00 PM. In the past, he normally picks her up around 5:30 PM. Well, today, he insisted that he picks her up at 2:00 PM tomorrow. My fiancee' declined this, as we have plans. He is claiming that she is in contempt of the parenting plan, because she is denying him the ability to see her, even though the parenting plan doesn't specify a time, other than "by 7:00 PM". He is claiming that he's unavailable at 5:30, and that he wants to get her at 2:00, and if she refuses that, that she is in violation.
What are everyone's opinions on this? With this wording, it seems as if he can interpret it any way he wishes, even arguing that getting her at 12:01 would be justifiable.
