Splitting school holidays

[TootsyPops]

Would anyone mind sharing how you work out school holidays with your ex?

Mine wants a 50/50 split of holidays and I don’t know if that’s practical. Child is only 2.5 at the moment but we are in court so I need to put my proposal forward by the next hearing.

Thanks in advance

What’s wrong with that? Can’t see the problem

I asked for examples on how others organise it to help me try and figure out how to do handovers in holidays. As there was dv we need a third party for all handovers.

I can’t be bothered going into all details of my situation.

If you can’t be bothered giving the specific requirements of your situation why would anyone be bothered trying to guess what you need and offering advice that you will just dismiss as not being any good for your situation? there’s no point anybody telling you what they do when they aren’t dealing with your specific but as yet unspecified circumstances.

For the summer holidays, I'd find someone who can pick up/drop off at the mid point. For the half term weeks, rather than a 3.5 day split I'd suggest one has child whole week Feb inc any teacher training days. Pick up from school, drop back at school first day back. I'd also consider the same for the Easter/Xmas breaks with turn about each year. Ie if you have them Xmas, the other gets Feb half term. You get Oct, they get this Xmas. That way you don't have to rely on anyone else being available to pick up/drop off as it can be done straight from school.

Take it with both hands. It means he has to pay for holiday clubs/camps during his half of the holidays. Most people I know including us alternate he half terms and split summer/Christmas/Easter.

I'm sorry you are going through court process at the moment. I know it is very stressful. I am almost 3 years out from our court agreed child arrangements.

Me and the kids' dad share the school holidays 50 /50. We actually work it out for each holiday a couple of months before hand. Any big events like weddings or caravan holidays etc we might pencil in with each other individually. It means we are extremely flexible and can work around any particular commitments at work etc too. Although some may think it annoying not to have dates set in stone. It relies on us communicating well. Which we did NOT initially!
Good luck. X

50/50 in school holidays is common but the distance between your houses will determine how frequently handover might happen plus if either of you might want to take the child on holiday.

I think it's so important to set the premise now while they're little than wait til their old enough for something...children adapt really well.
I'd do the split unless you have other concerns.
