Parent-Time – Holidays
Determining
parent-time during the holidays can be difficult and is often the source of
contention between parents. If you are
the non-custodial parent of a child over the age of 5, you will have:
Christmas Break
the first portion including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, continuing until 1
p.m. on the day halfway through the holiday period, if there are an odd number
of days for the holiday period, or until 7 p.m. if there are an even number of
days for the holiday period, so long as the entire holiday period is equally
divided.
The last day of school before the Christmas Break
for 2013 is December 20th.
There is always some discussion over when the Christmas break
begins. Typically this should be the
first day after the last day of school (or December 21 for 2013). School starts again on January 6, which creates
an even number of days (16) for the 2013 Christmas Break. The exchange should take place on December 28
at 7 p.m.
The custodial parent will have the rest of the
Christmas Break as well as Thanksgiving.
