Halloween is not in the parrenitng plan. I have custody. I have had Halloween the last two years. My daughter falls on my day for halloween. I offered my x untill 6pm on halloween. She was found guilty of child abuse and only has 2 days a week and 2 hour visits on those days. She wants to combine those 2 days for a 4 hour visit on Halloween. I told her I have plans out of town after 6pm with my girlfrineds family. She is demanding me change my plans, calling me names you know the usual threats.

Stick to your guns.  Your first obligation is to your daughter, and you have every right to simply follow the parenting plan, which I assume is in a court order or divorce decree, or included by reference in something signed by a judge.  She has no threats that she can make good on, because the court will back you up.

That very limited visitation tells me that your ex-wife did something pretty bad to your daughter, and I'd work from the assumption that limiting visitation to 2 hours at a time is something that might be really necessary for your daughter's protection.

If the parenting plan doesn't mandate visits with mom on Halloween, then her threats don't mean atnything.  Your past Halloween visits were courtesies, but not ordered by the court.  Do what you need to do on Halloween.  But don't eat too much candy!
