Orlando, FL asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Florida

Q: Do you lose your weekend if its your holiday?

I had my children last weekend, and my ex is suppose to have my children this weekend (the 4th of july weekend). July 4th is HIS holiday and it just so happens to land on HIS weekend which is convenient for him. He usually gets the kids on his weekends at 5pm Friday until Tuesday morning at 730am. He is claiming he isnt suppose to pick the kids up until 9am on July 4 because in parenting plan it states July 4 is 9am to 8pm which would apply if it wasnt his weekend or day BUT its his weekend. So does he lose his friday night on his weekend because 4th of July is HIS?? How does that make sense? And he plans on keeping them until Tuesday morning at 730 but the 4th of July holiday schedule says 9am to 8pm....so if hes claiming he isnt suppose to get kids until Saturday at 9am why wouldnt he give them back at 8pm?? He did the same thing for Fathers Day weekend and didnt pick the kids up until Sat afternoon instead of Friday 5pm on his weekend. Next weekend is mine. He wants to go out tonigh

A: If the custody order is not clear on the subject, you need to seek clarification from the judge.
