With Spring Break approaching for many school-aged children, divorced dads have questions about parenting time over school breaks.

Below are answers to four common questions on Spring Break parenting time.

Question:

My parenting plan states that for spring break the child is to be in my ex-wife's care from the time school is dismissed for Spring Break, though Spring Break technically starts on a Monday.

I think I should have my child for the scheduled weekend and then my ex gets the child starting Monday when the break officially begins.

She thinks this time should start when school lets out on Friday.

Who is right and who can help me enforce this if I am right?

Among the Ask a Divorce Lawyer questions answered today by Cordell & Cordell attorneys:

• Our divorce agreements says we rotate years for who gets the child during spring break. But our kid is too young and not in school. So does this apply yet?
• Can you file a lawsuit against a court system for Judicial Abuse of Power? Also, what remedies can you go through to settle your case outside of the courts? 
• I'm going through a divorce and want to know how to help my case. So should I tell my lawyer that my wife asked me to kill her ex-husband after we got married 25 years ago? Will that have any effect on how our case is decided? 
• What rights, if any, do I have regarding visitation with a minor child that I am not the biological father of?
