If at all possible the two weeks should not be consecutive. In some cases each parent will have the children for one month each during the summer. One parent would have the children for the month of July, while the other parent would have them for the month of August. The best way to determine which parent has the children on a particular holiday is to alternate the holiday every year. For example if the mother has the children for the Fourth of July the first year then the father would have them the second year.
Some families have certain traditions for particular holidays.
For instance the husband s family might have a Christmas Eve tradition while the wife s family has a big family gathering on Christmas day. In a case like this you might want to consider not alternating these holidays but to let the children be with their mother on one holiday and the father on the other. Beep the horn and let the children come out to you. Do not go inside. Custodial Parent - Be on time.
