QUESTION
Can I get in trouble or held in contempt?
Asked on Dec 12th, 2016 on Child Custody - Florida
More details to this question:
Our parenting plan states my ex must have the house professionally cleaned, receipt provided, and proof that his dogs have been removed from the home before she leaves my custody due to her bad allergies. If I don't let her go until he provides this information, can I get in trouble? I'm fine with her going when I get the info but I'm almost positive he won't be providing it and accusing me of keeping her from him.

It sounds like your parenting plan is pretty specific. If it is worded as you say, it seems to specify that you are to be provided with this "proof...before she leaves" your "custody." That language should protect you if your ex does not comply.
Since you also say you are fine with her going, then to quell your concerns, why don't you email the father and ask him (nicely), in anticipation of your daughter's visit, to send you the documentation regarding his compliance with cleaning per the parenting plan. This might help alleviate some of your stress and who couldn't use that, especially during the holiday season!
