We have a standard TX child support agreement. Written notice was given in time for summer dates (5/24-6/24). NCP was planning on 1,3,5 schedule visitation for July.
Does holiday vacation override weekend visitation for summer?
Is NCP entitled to weekend visitations?
answered on Jul 5, 2024
For clarity, under the typical possession order, if CP timely designated July 19-21 as his/her summer possession, NCP would have weekend possession July 5-7 (the first weekend of July), and then would have possession of the child next August 2-4 (the first weekend of August).
