Define the whole block
Write the start date and time, end date and time, and exchange location. Include whether a school holiday changes the pickup. If plans involve travel, confirm dates before booking anything that depends on the other parent’s agreement.
Compare a few possible arrangements
You might alternate a holiday, divide a longer break, or keep particular traditions in a consistent home. Treat these as options to discuss, not rules every family should follow. Use the arrangement that applies to your family.
Say which rule takes priority
Check whether the holiday period replaces the regular rotation and when that rotation resumes. Look at the weekend just before and after the holiday; it can be easy to double-book a transition.
Review the visible calendar
CoFam includes holiday scheduling. After entering a rule, inspect the actual dates and owner in the relevant year. Check travel and school details separately.
Must every holiday alternate each year?
No. Follow your arrangement and make any proposed change explicit.
Why review the following weekend?
It helps both homes agree where the holiday exception ends and the regular pattern resumes.
