My custody time is my custody time, right?

OK...my ex-h takes me back to court for everything. I have wasted so much money on attorney fees only to be told that I'm in the right. The judge is sick of seeing us. She has ordered us to go to mediation which I am SO willing to do, but my ex-h bypasses all of it and the judge won't find him contempt OR have him pay my legal fees.

So here's the latest, we have 50/50 joint custody, one week on/one week off. Our sons are 5 and 6. My 5 year old is "graduating" from pre-school. I found a flyer in my 6 year old's back pack that "Dad said to give this to you." He doesn't send a note or an email saying that he's planning on attending. My ex was given the flyer on 5/13. I received it yesterday on 5/20. The ceremony is on 6/6 which is when I have custody. I have already planned an out of town visit as this is the last week of school (I'm a teacher). I don't feel I am required to take my son to this "graduation", does anyone agree? I know if he has planned on going and I don't take him, he will take me back to court for this saying I'm infringing on his parental rights because it does say in the custody order that both parents may attend sporting events, school ceremonies, etc. However, it doesn't say that I am REQUIRED to take him to these things when he is in my physical custody. Any advice or input would be appreciated.

BTW...this site is awesome as my ex-h is always trying to do things "legally"...it's good to get other's opinions and views.
 
If this graduation is on your schedule then no you do not have to attend. This is just pre-school so Dad should not be making a big deal out of it. There will be lots of other more important graduations he can attend.
