Steve Burton Seeks Court Enforcement After Mediation Sets Summer Custody Dates

His filings accuse his ex of 'blatant parental alienation' while asking a judge to secure his court‑ordered summer parenting time.

Overview

  • Burton has asked the Superior Court of Orange County to enforce his custodial and vacation rights after moving to Tennessee and amid disputes over summer visits.
  • The parents submitted a mediated, revised summer schedule at a June 3 hearing that gives Burton custody on Father's Day weekend, a mid‑July weekend and two weeks in August.
  • In court declarations Burton says his ex has created scheduling obstacles, enrolled their daughter in a conflicting junior lifeguard program, and refused to recognize his wife as a parental figure.
  • Sheree Burton denies the alienation claims, says she limits out‑of‑state time to three weeks and insists she is willing to be flexible when arrangements serve their daughter's best interests.
  • The case remains contentious and may return to a judge for enforcement, a move that could clarify how custody orders apply after Burton's relocation and affect the child's summer routine and blended‑family exchanges.
