Changing Visitation Schedule without Permission

[franki6701]

I separated from my ex in 98 and divorced in 02. We have one child, now 16 years old. We agreed to a visitation schedule after the separation and the said schedule was included in our Marital Settlement Agreement. We have agreed to and modified the visitation schedule over the years, but did not modify the schedule in the MSA. My questions are: 1, do I have to modify the MSA schedule for it to be legal? 2, if not, will the mutually agreed to modified schedule stand up in court? The changes to the agreed upon schedule have been in place for more than 5 years. My ex has taken a day away from me with no discussion or agreement.

Thank You.

The last order, signed off by the court is the governing document. That last order is still enforceable.
