We have a court order in place for 50-50 school holiday contact. We agree the schedule by Sept 30th each year usually with no real issues.
However this year one child has started at secondary school and they have completely different holiday dates to the primary aged child including 2 week October half term etc.
We cannot come to an agreement as to how to manage the holiday schedule when they don’t have a single holiday the same. I just wondered what other people do that they think works in this situation?
hi, when does half term holiday begin for both primary and secondary school?
@bill337 so the oct half term starts at the same time for both but is a week longer for the oldest. However their holidays also start and end at different times in every holiday except for the other half terms.
So the debate is how to do the holiday schedule within the court order of 50-50 without separating them so ones on holiday schedule with one parent and ones on term time schedule with the other. If you see what I mean?
I don’t know if there’s a standard way to do it. Couldn’t find anything online.
hi,
ok, perhaps the kids would be unhappy if 1 spent more time with you while others went to school. or you could propose to ex to split the week, when child has 1 week longer holiday.
I will face similar issues in summer. 1 child will finish high school on a friday, while primary kids finish on following tuesday. All I can suggest is try to reach some kind of agreement with your ex.
