What to do if the father of my son is not willing to let me visit my home country with my son although it is in parenting plan?

The plan reads “Mother, though a United States citizen, is originally from Turkey and family that resides in Turkey. During the summer vacation Mother may travel with the Child to Turkey for a visit. In the event the travel will interfere with Father’s parenting time, Mother shall make mutually acceptable arrangements for make up weekend visitation time.” I’m willing to make up for the weekends he will miss but he is acting like I’m asking for an outrageous favor and ignoring me. I don’t want to be begging every summer. Can the parenting plan be modified or do I need to start a new court case?

You are going to have to go back to court to either modify the plan or to ask the court to allow you to go every time that you want to go.  It is obvious that he is not going to act like an adult about this and you need to have things spelled out.  But I would write to him by certified mail chronicalling your attempts to work this out amicably and asking one last time.  Good luck.
