Would appreciate an opinion on the public holidays and the following please. Thanks in advance for any responses.
Final parenting orders state, during gazetted school terms (for Vic) the children live with the mother and spend time with their father:
From after school Friday to before school Monday in week one, and from after school Monday to after dinner Tuesday in week two;
With such time to be extended by 24 hours to incorporate any public holiday which is adjoining such time.
The 24 hour extension is the bit that is confusing me…
I assume this is done to limit changeovers/potential for conflict?
My question is...We have a public holiday on Monday and then a student-free day at the school on the Tuesday. It is the children’s weekend with me this weekend (so the kids would normally be picked up by their Dad from school on the Monday afternoon following the weekend with me).
What should technically happen here? I come up with something new every time I read this to the point it now makes no sense to me at all! I know there’s no magic in it and will put it to the ex for their opinion on what they’d like to do this weekend. It’s just that it’s the first time this has occurred and wanted to be clear in my head first.
Do we have a special changeover on the Monday afternoon at what would have been school pick up time? Or a special changeover on the Tuesday? Or do the kids spend the whole weekend with me through to me taking them to school on Wednesday morning?
