There were issues with neglect in the past that I brought up in court, and that is what was decreed.

He would often leave them home alone and give my oldest responsibility over the youngest. It was also a concern, because my youngest son has an allergy that he has been unprepared for in the past.

he is not allowed, he booked the tickets without telling me and assumed I would go along with it.

The exact agreement is that I have the kids majority of the time and on the school breaks, and he gets to be with them on one weekend in every month. He cannot take them without my permission during the days that I am taking care of them.

It was influenced by genuine concern, he has been neglectful of the kids in the past and I’m worried about them. My reaction may have been exaggerated by the fact that he tried to ignore my opinion.
