Changes may not be made to the regular rotation of the alternating weekend parent time schedule; To me, these are contradictory sentences. If the custodial parent's holiday falls on the non-custodial parent's weekend parent-time, who gets the children? The first sentence says, in this case, the custodial parent gets the children. The second sentence says the non-custodial parent gets the children. This scenario is coming up soon and I would like to know how this should play out. Thank you.

To me, these are contradictory sentences. If the custodial parent’s holiday falls on the non-custodial parent’s weekend parent-time, who gets the children? The first sentence says, in this case, the custodial parent gets the children. The second sentence says the non-custodial parent gets the children. This scenario is coming up soon and I would like to know how this should play out. Thank you.

My husband (non-custodial parent) and I have my son for the weekend of Halloween this year however, my son's mother (custodial parent) has him for the holiday. Would she get him for the entire weekend? Or just for the few hours designated?   Notwithstanding Subsection (2)(e)(i)   (2) (e) (i) If a holiday falls on a weekend or on a Friday or Monday and the total holiday period extends beyond that time so that the child is free from school and the parent is free from work, the noncustodial parent shall be entitled to this lengthier holiday period., the Halloween holiday may not be extended beyond the hours designated in Subsection (2)(g)(vi). (2)(g)(vi) Halloween on October 31 or the day Halloween is traditionally celebrated in the local community from after school until 9 p.m. if on a school day, or from 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. With subsection (2)(e)(i) If a holiday falls on a weekend or on a Friday or Monday and the total holiday period extends beyond that time so that the child is free from school and the parent is free from work, the noncustodial parent shall be entitled to this lengthier holiday period. Does that also mean that the custodial parent gets the same consideration on those holidays that fall on a weekend or on a Friday or Monday or is that just for non-custodial parents?

My children are in year-round school. They are only out 3 weeks during July. Between holidays and work, it is a hard time of year to take a vacation. I've found definitions of year-round school saying that summer vacation is divided by breaking up the long summer vacation into shorter, more frequent vacations throughout the year. Does that mean I can take my two-weeks uninterrupted when they are off track in November? The code says that the custodial parent gets two-weeks uninterrupted time during summer vacation.

Does this imply that on the alternate years the CP would get the same elections? For example, during extended parent time for the NCP, when the CP is entitled to parent time, can the CP elect tp pick up the kids at 9AM? Or does the CP only get 5:30-8:30 mid-week visit. Another example, can the CP elect to take the entire weekend attached to the holiday as the NCP can?
