How much notice should you be given for holidays. If the kids are being taken away for a couple of weeks or the weekend. I assume 30 seconds is not okay.
My elder daughter (13) was allowed by my wife to go to Manchester with a friend to stay with the friends father for the weekend. Had half an address and a mobile number. Only told after I asked where she was.
What is reasonable???

....Its a grey area I'm afraid. Morally your ex, as the parent with care, should ensure that your daughter is safe at all times, and should discuss such things as holidays, education, health etc and who is looking after them, with you, but it doesnt always happen that way.
If you are feeling left out of these important decisions you could try Mediation to get your point across and help your ex to realize that you too are integral in your daughters life. Heres a link ~ www.nfm.org.uk
