Mom Denies Dad’s Summer Visitation — Judge Grants Make-Up Time

In this family court hearing, a father returns to court after claiming he was denied his scheduled summer parenting time with his two daughters. The father explains that he traveled from California to Texas to pick up his children but was unable to take them as planned. He argues that the existing court order gave him summer possession and that repeated issues prevented him from exercising his parenting time. The mother disputes the claim, stating that she never prevented him from seeing the children and that the disagreement involved travel arrangements, summer activities, and previous missed plans. She argues that she was attempting to follow the parenting schedule while addressing concerns about the children’s travel and safety. After hearing both sides, the judge reviews the existing custody order and determines that the father was entitled to make-up parenting time after not receiving the full summer period outlined in the order. The court orders arrangements for the children to travel to California and clarifies future transportation options, including direct flights with airline supervision or the father driving to pick them up.
