  • Easter holiday...Help

    I am having trouble with stbx and the upcoming easter holiday. To date the only court order is for CS and interm SS plus Joint custody with Stbx being residentual parent.

    Our parenting schedule is by verbal only with a week on week off holidays have never been agreed on. Stbx wants me to return the children thursday evening so she can take the children to her sisters for 3-4 days. I have declined her offer to take the kids for easter. I have countered her offer with me delivering the children to her on saturday and we each have a day for easter with the children.
    This offer has brought out the usual hostile responses and posturing about me being legally obligated by law to return the children 3 days early.

    I belive that I am being reasonable and offering a shared easter is in thebest interests of the children.

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    You indicate that the stbx is the residential parent but that you both have joint custody and access is on a week on/week off basis.

    Can you please clarify this? I am confused. Also, when are you supposed to return the children to her given your present verbal situation?

      Stbx and I are Joint custody and Stbx is the primary residentual parent.
      When Stbx filled a motion for a SS and CS order the Judge threw in the Joint custody and the primary residentual parent. Most likely since I was living 600km away from the children. Since that time I have moved into the same town as the children.
      Under my nomal Parenting time I would have the children from onday after school untill sunday @ 2:00

        I would tell her that one week notice is insufficient to deviate from the normal schedule (the Sunday 2pm exchange). After Easter, if she would like to discuss some form of fair alternation of holidays, you would be receptive.

        Or, if you want to test the waters, tell her you'll agree to her taking the kids this Easter, provided she signs an agreement beforehand solidifying your current week on week off 50-50 schedule, with a prearranged fair alternation of holidays, beginning with her having Easter this year.
