Need advice
So DH got everything that he asked for. SS15 will be moving with us full time and visiting with BM in the summer and school breaks. We agreed to pay for some of the visits and she pays for remainder visits.
SS is supposed to return to our house in August. We have been trying to purchase the tickets for the past three days but BM is not responding to emails. We just want to confirm with her flight time. The order says emails need to be responded to within 48 hours. Should we just book the flight and give her the info or keep waiting? I know this is a control thing on her part but with August only 6 weeks away, I don't want to wait too long because prices go up. I also don't want to purchase airline tickets and have her say she can't do that time even tho it is in the order that he needs to return on that day. What would you do?

Send an final email that says
Send an final email that says on Tuesday (or whatever is the day you intend to purchase but give at least a day warning) you are going to purchase tickets for x date for morning/afternoon/evening (don't put the specific time yet in case you can't get that particular flight.)
This way all your bases are covered and she can't say you didn't inform her or give her a chance to propose a different time.
I think the next time I will
I think the next time I will do that so we don't have to wait around for her confirmation. DH's opinion is that we have ready given her a choice and ample time to respond so we should just buy the ticket. I don't know. Prices go up the closer to the flight so it sucks to have to wait.
She's lost her right to
She's lost her right to object. Follow the CO to the letter. Now, go and book the flights and give her the information. Don't forget to mention that, as per the CO, you asked her and received no answer within the allotted time.
