My ex and I have joint legal custody of our 3 year old daughter. I have physical custody. I would like to take my daughter on vacation to Baltimore MD (about 2 hours away) for 3 days. This time does not at all interfere with my ex's visitation time with my daughter. I informed my ex that I was planning this trip 15 days prior. He's saying that I can't take her out of the state on vacation because I did not give him a month's notice of this trip, despite the fact this trip does not affect his parenting time with her. His reasoning is just because "that's what it says in the agreement."

I have family in contiguous states and I foresee many weekend trips (on my time) to visit family, where a month notice will not always be reasonable based on schedules. Do I need to go to court to amend the agreement?

You must abide by what the agreement says. After all, you signed it.

So you're saying your single?

yes, you need to go to court to amend the agreement. this section means you cannot go on vacation for the day without thirty days prior notice. that is not usual.

but, we cannot tell you to go in violation of the agreement. but i doubt a judge would do much if anything about it if it does not take any of his parenting time.

He sounds like a real prince. Celebrate the fact that you're done with him! Get the terms ironed out before you go- cancel this trip if necessary. This guy will cause as much grief as possibe if you go.

not if you treat X with respect and get him to sign a wiver for the trip

otherwise yes , do not take unfair liberties , get in line

Cut it out jackass OP

the Judge did NOT sign up to be your schedule keeper because you paid $xxx for a marriage licence

most laws in book are there to protect the child's rights - not yours

don't treat the court as if they are their as your personal schedule agreement team
