What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TN
My hubby and his ex alternate holidays every year. This year, he'll have their 10yo daughter for the Thanksgiving holiday. Their order reads:
"Parties shall alternate the Thanksgiving holiday, beginning in 2007, with Father having visitation on the day school is dismissed for the holiday and returning by 6:00 p.m. the day before school resumes. Mother shall have the child for Thanksgiving in even numbered years and Father shall have the child in odd numbered years."
That being said, hubby and I were checking out daughter's school calendar for this year and noticed that the "Fall Break" and "Thanksgiving Holidays" have now been split. In the past, it has always read "Thanksgiving Holidays/Fall Break" and I never really paid attention to the terminology, I just figured it was a technical thing. But, daughter has always been out of school for the entire week of Thanksgiving. Now, her calendar is showing the "Fall Break" taking place in October...? Dates are October 19-23. And the "Thanksgiving Holidays" are only 3 days long, November 25-27.
Not really sure why the school decided to switch things up like this, but...does this mean that hubby will only get daughter for those 3 days in November and none of the days in October? Legally, I mean. He's going to try and talk to Mom about getting daughter some of those days in October, but it's very hard to talk her into letting him have additional visitation outside of the CO. Obviously, had hubby known the school was going to separate the holidays, it would have been addressed at their most recent hearing (almost 3 years ago).
What do ya'll think..?
