Q: If my ex had our kids for Spring holiday, do I automatically get the following weekend visit?
I have an expanded visitation order in Texas. Every other weekend visitation, every Thursday night during the school year.
I had my kids the first weekend of March, 3rd-5th. Lost my next visit, 17th-19th, to spring holiday. As per the standard visitation order this would mean that the 24th-26th is my ex-wifes weekend. Or does the holiday change our rotation? Am I automatically given the weekend of the 24th-26th as a result of the holiday? Thank you in advance.
A: It depends on what your order specifically says regarding this holiday. You can pull out your order and review it; it should have specific language for this situation. It may also order that the visitation resumes on regularly scheduled times and make no additional provisions for the holiday possession. If it does not have specific language at all, then the default is usually what the parties can agree to do. If your order is confusing or unclear, then contact your attorney or a local family law attorney and ask them to review and explain the order.
