Thank you. Unfortunately, the language is a bit vague, and if you file a motion to enforce the visitation agreement, the mother can argue that she is not in violation as long as she does allow you 6 weeks of visitation during the summer at some point.

If she is not allowing visitation at all, you can file contempt proceedings. These would generally have to be filed in the state where the custody order was entered, depending on the circumstances. You have a right to enforcement of the court order, and the court has the ability to enforce its orders. In some cases, failure to honor the custody/visitation agreement is grounds to have the order modified to grant you greater access rights.

You may also want to file a motion going forward to make the visitation language more specific so that there is no argument about which 6 weeks you are entitled to, and whether the mother has any say in determining which 6 weeks you may have.
