Quick straw poll: if your ex has regular custody how much of the holidays does he do?

If any?

I think 50/50 is fair. If your/his annual leave doesn't stretch to 50/50 then he should at least contribute to the childcare costs.

I am a teacher. H took 2 days out of 6 weeks school holiday because 'you are off work anyway'

Not sure what percentage XH does. I think out of the 6 week summer holiday he had them for a week, his parents had them for a week and he had a couple of weekends.

But at the moment I don't work during the summer holidays so it is easier for me to have them obviously.

Half of every weekend plus one weeknight in term time. Half of all holidays.

He does every other weekend from Friday after school to Monday drop off at school, a Wednesday night from after school and he drops to school on Thursday and he does half of all holidays. We are pretty flexible though - he is able to work from home and I am not so sometimes he has DD in the day during hols even when it's officially "my" week and I pick her up after work and either drop her up there in the morning or he picks her up from mine. If he has to go away with work (Europe or US trips) then I keep her longer then.

that's more Thani was expecting!

Ex has them one week night (5pm to 7.30 am, I pick up and take them to school) and Friday 6pm to Saturday 6pm. He did 5 days in the summer holidays when I was away.

I'm asking because he refuses to take time in the holidays as he has to work. I'm in the middle of my degree and have no reading weeks so need to find childcare. Ex says it's not his responsibility. He also refuses to take a day off if one of the DC are sick (as per my SS/Daily mail thread the other day). However he does claim his fair and equal rights to Xmas and birthdays being split 50/50.

I wanted to see how other people sort if and wonder what a court would say?

A big fat zero! No explanation, just doesn't want to so doesn't. I'm hoping karma is a big fat bitch.

Big, does he have them other times though?
