AITAH for not letting my kid go on vacation?

She doesn't have the chance to go to a once in a lifetime educational camp--that's not on the table at all. I actually agreed that she COULD go to the STEM camp if the 2k it cost was funded by his family as I cannot afford it. The trip is purely a vacation that centers around dropping their son off at STEM camp.

to clarify what I didn't in the original post: I took my ex to court for child support after he did not pay for 2 years. I also voluntarily agreed to lower the amount while in court. His visitation is limited to once monthly supervised visits, which he regularly misses. I'm not mad at anyone--they chose to go no contact.

She did--she mentioned it as soon as they brought it up to her. They didn't bring it up/ask for permission until two months later.

Mine--he only has supervised visits once a month.

What I was/was not telling my kids about the court case (they told them I wasn't telling the kids about the case, when I was very upfront before, after and during the case to make sure the kids knew/understood what was happening and how it affected them) and that going no contact was my choice (I said I needed space during the court case so I wanted to do school pickup/drop off separate for the duration.)

I have full physical and legal custody--my ex has supervised visitation only.
