Summary
Holiday custody schedules take precedence over regular parenting time. If a holiday falls on a parents usual weekend but is assigned to the other parent, the holiday schedule is followed. After the holiday, the regular custody schedule resumes. For example, if Memorial Day is the fathers holiday, he will have the children, even if it is the mothers usual weekend. The mother will then follow the regular schedule, having the children the next Thursday.Full Conversation
I need help understanding what this means, “Sometimes "holiday time" or vacation time may conflict with the time set aside for the other parent. When this happens, the holiday time or vacation time shall be observed and take priority over all other schedules. For example, if it is one parent's alternate weekend but the other's Memorial Day weekend, the holiday weekend will take priority.
Following the change in schedule due to the "holiday time" or vacation time the schedule will resume without regard to the holiday time or vacation time.”
Hi ****, this passage refers to child custody arrangements where parents share time. The "holiday time" or "vacation time" has precedence over the regular schedule. For instance, if it's one parent's weekend but the other parent's designated holiday, the holiday takes priority. After the holiday or vacation, the normal schedule resumes, disregarding the special occasion.
So after the holiday, the next weekend will be the other parents weekend?
Yes, ****, that's correct. Following a holiday that required a change, the regular custody schedule resumes. So the next weekend would be the other parent's according to the normal schedule.
So she would just have the kids the weekend after Memorial Day, correct?
Yes, ****. If Memorial Day weekend is her "holiday time" and it conflicts with the regular schedule, she will have the kids. The regular schedule will then continue, so if the following weekend is hers according to that schedule, she will have the kids again.
If Memorial Day weekend was originally her weekend and the next week she has them on Thursday, but it is the father’s holiday, the kids will go with him over the weekend and then she will have them the next weekend?
Yes, ****. If Memorial Day weekend is the father's "holiday time", he will have the kids, despite it normally being her weekend. The regular schedule resumes after the holiday, so if she's to have them the following weekend, that will happen.
Okay
Hello ****, your understanding is correct. The holiday schedule overrides the regular custody schedule. So, if the father's "holiday time" falls on a weekend that's normally the mother's, the father will have the children. The regular schedule resumes after the holiday.
“Mother shall have parenting time with the children every other week from after school on Friday until they return to school on Monday, and on the following week, from after school on Thursday until the children are returned to school on Friday morning.” If this is our parenting schedule and a holiday lands on the mother’s weekend that isn’t her holiday, would she get the following weekend with the kids or the following Thursday?
Hi ****, based on the custody agreement you've shared, if a holiday not assigned to the mother falls on her usual weekend, the father would have the children. The schedule would then continue as normal, so the mother would have the children the following Thursday, not the weekend.
Okay
Hello ****, you've got it right. If a holiday not assigned to the mother falls on her typical weekend, the father will have the children. The regular schedule then resumes, so the mother will have the children the following Thursday, as per the agreement.
