Does this require a modification of a parenting order or a new parenting order through a paternity filing? The answer would be significantly different.

It depends upon the attorney you hire and the agreement you make, I would guess a minimum of 500. If all parties agree then it should be no problem, but it depends upon your court orders regarding custody and the integrity of the other party.

If both parents agree and there is no court order that would be violated then you do not need to go to court. If there is an order that you cannot have two weeks, you better get to court.

Lawyers charge different amounts for their services. It is almost always on an hourly basis. You and the other parent can certainly agree to a 2-week vacation. I would suggest that the two of you write a very short statement indicating the dates of the vacation, with both of you signing it, so that you have some verification of the agreement.

Sure, both parties can agree to that. That's not a permanent change.

I need more information. If you already have a visitation order that does not include two weeks vacation, you may have to file a motion to modify the old order. That is playing it safe. The cost should be low if the other side agrees. Without a lawyer have the other side sign a written agreement which should be notarized and hope for the best.
