Don't know how much other employers pry when employees ask for time off. Around here whether it's going on one of my kids field trips or going to a lawyer about a will, I look him straight in the eye and say, "I have some personal business to attend to and I need to take a day." Some companies have special day set aside for this sort of thing, others make you take vacation. Either way your employer probably isn't allowed to be prying too much, especially if you have the time coming, anyway. May as well use it now since when you leave they probably won't pay you for it.
