Hello all, I am new to this forum. Seeking for some help from members, and I also hope to help others with the best I can to my knowledge.
I have a year old (2 this Dec.) son which I have full legal custody of, but joint custody (primary residence to me). I have been battling court custody/visitation with my son's father.
His father has been so demanding and belittling me, is very skilled at brainwashing people, using his wordds to play around , thinks he has the higher power, is not consistent with his visitations or child support, list goes on. I have told him numerous time to follow court orders (his usual days are Weds and Sundays-one night overnight when not in school).
What i need help with is- the court order states:
...
Commencing 2016,
......
Father will have the child on Thanksgiving break on even number years (From Wednesday til Sunday).
...
If a conflict arises as to the vacation period, on even years mother's preference shall hold, on odd years father preference shall hold.

I do have an attorney, and she states that if it states "breaks", it usually means school.
To my belief, whenever it states "breaks" for holidays, it means school to me and obviously my son is not in school right now, but he will be starting in 2016.
However, his father is demanding it does not mean school, and that he will have our son for that time, this year, and he will not return our son home until Monday after Thanksgiving.
(in the holiday schedule, such as christmas, spring break, etc they also state breaks, which is for school as well)
I have told him numerous times to follow court orders and he would respond, "well you should follow it as well so I'll be keeping him until monday whether you like it or not."
So for that reason, I need your help and advice on what "Thanksgiving break" is supposed to mean, as I am so tired of his smart mouth and belittling me constantly and his demanding. Please, and thank you very much!!
