When CO lists holiday time, but another CO event falls on same time?

I was looking at the calendar and the CO states DH gets the week of Spring Break from school release to the return to school. However Easter falls on the last weekend of Spring break this year and the CO states BM has easter weekend. Do we need to go back to court to modify? Which takes precedence?

typically holidays take precedence over the regular schedule.

Check with your attorney or your Friend of the Court, if you have one.

spring break is a period of time, it's not a holiday.

Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter - THOSE are holidays.

This is the first year Easter has fallen on a school break because it has been further in April, now it's on the 1st and Spring break here is last week of March. So the following year its April 18th or somwhere near there. DH is fine giving up the second weekend of Spring break. If the situation was reveresed though no way BM would give in without an argument. Hopefully this will occur very rarely.

The Things birthday was always during the extended time with Asshat during the summer.

I didn't die because I didn't see them on their birthday - and like you said, two birthdays for them Smile

I just don't understand the whole "I would die if I didn't see my kid on his birthday" thing...

I would not be ok with possibly not seeing my kid ever on his birthday! If he moves I'd go to court and get that re-written to alternate spring break.

Yes I meant for next year. DH is filing to modify the holidays which are split now. We want it to rotate every other year now that she is getting older so we can travel on Holidays, which is the only reason why we are thinking about it this early.

I think that this year is an exception. Usually Spring Break and Easter do not coincide. I would suggest that DH takes his Spring Break as scheduled but gives BM Easter Sunday. Effectively this means that the Skids go back to BM a day earlier than they would otherwise return from Spring Break with dad.

Not sure that a rare anomaly is worth a trip to court.
