Hi we have been doing a week on week off custody schedule since may and this the only time this alters is in the event of thanksgiving or Christmas holiday. My question is what happens after the holidays when January 3rd comes and the go back to school? Whose week is it. It isn't defined in our decree and when I spoke with my Attorney she stated generally it offsets to the opposite parent that just had them regardless of whose week it would have been had there not been no holidays. For example we will have had them for one week up until Jan 3rd so then it would be the other parents turn to have them Jan 3rd week and that sets the presence for the new years week on week off schedule however the ex feels we need to count back to the beginning of December and pretending there was no holiday so it should be our week again Jan 3rd week..does anyone know how it's agreed upon if it's not in the decree orders and we can't agree on whose week again? Please help and I'm in Texas if that matters.
