Summer custody schedule
Plan the exceptions before summer starts
Put vacation blocks, camps, travel days, and handoffs on top of the regular parenting schedule so both homes can see what changed.
A practical summer planning sequence
Start with the normal custody rotation, then add school-end and school-start dates, each parent's vacation blocks, camps, trips, and any makeup time. Record exact pickup and return times instead of relying on a general date range.
Put on the calendar
- Last and first school days.
- Vacation request deadlines and approved travel blocks.
- Camp sessions, flights, and handoff locations.
- How the regular rotation resumes after each exception.
Questions to resolve
- Does vacation time override the regular weekend?
- Who handles transportation and travel documents?
- How are conflicts and makeup days handled?
- Which timezone controls travel-day handoffs?
