Unless you guys are religious and put Easter Monday as a holiday then no its not considered a long weekend.

My kids go back to school on Monday, so they would def be home Sunday, I guess it depends on where u r from. If they are out of school monday then yes its a long weekend. If not then no. How do u not know thisā‰

What do your court papers say about holidays? Do your kids have school on Monday?

My daughters school is off friday. Some might have monday off instead. So if they have school off then id assume a long weekand. Id always follow standard court visitation plans or if your court order is more specific then i would follow that

It should be in your guidelines,and whos ever holiday it is this year,it dont matter whos weekend it normally would be,that parent gets them from friday til sunday ,so one parent may get them 3 weekends in a row,or if its normally the parents weekend that has the easter holiday this year,then the weeekends will resume the same

Depends if the have school Monday.

I think it depends on ur state! My kids have no school at all next week for spring break

My kids have no school Friday, Iā€™d assume if it were a long weekend then Friday would be the extra day

I work with the school district and we are off Friday (Good Friday) - weekend. We return on Monday so yes, it is a 3 day weekendā€¦ long weekend.
(Florida)

A lot of schools have off for Good Friday but are reopen Mondayā€¦ so Friday is considered a holiday, that to me makes the weekend long, because itā€™s still 3 days off from school. I would look at your parenting plan. We rotate holidays no matter what day they fall on but everyoneā€™s plan is different.

My daughter is off school tomorrow for parent teacher then they get good friday and easter monday off back to school tuesday

Yes. Usually. Even non religious ppl use it as a 4 day weekend bc many places are closed at least 3 days. If school is out, usually the other parent gets spring break.
I really hope, unless thereā€™s abuse, you encourage the extra timesā€¦ Children need both their parents time and attention.

With our papers it was the return the night before they go back to school. So if ona holiday they didnā€™t have school on Monday they go back Monday night.

A normal weekend. School on Monday for most

It depends where you live, google your area and public holidays.

Talk to her dad and come up with a plan that works for both of you.

If you arenā€™t amicable, then talk to your attorney to find out best course of action.

If your kids are off Monday then Iā€™d say yes

Depends. We share holidays. So like if them kids are at my house, he can get them from 4p-8p and vise versa. But we usually never do that, we just work around what each other has planned but we used to have to do it that way. Your visitation should say something about holidays.

I say if they are off school and heā€™s off work. Let them stayā€¦my thoughts if you have to work on mondayā€¦ a break for you not having to rush getting ready for work and getting kids ready to go to a sitter or school if they have school or wherever, etc. If he has to work let him doing that part of the morning parentingā€¦

Is he school aged? If yes, itā€™s only considered a long weekend if he has Monday off from school.

My kids go to school Friday and Monday so itā€™s a normal weekend here

Depends if hes working on the monday

Iā€™d. Ask. The. District. Theyā€™ll know

Thatā€™s something that should be agreed upon between you and your ex

I try to split it down middle when they have vacation and sheā€™s 11 so she tells me what she wants to do. And she goes every weekend unless we have plans I wouldnā€™t consider staying till Monday a long weekend if they have off for the week lol

That depends.

Are your kids school age and if so, are they off school Monday? Iā€™m in Maryland and have school age children. Theyā€™re on spring break starting today and they go back on Tuesday.

If theyā€™re not school age, then itā€™s really up to the two of you if you want to make it a long weekend.

My kiddos in NH have school Monday

Depends on if there is school or not. I live in South Dakota and we donā€™t have school Friday to Monday, some years we also donā€™t have school Thursday or Tuesday depending on when Easter falls. So get for us yes it is a long weekend.

Reallyā€¦ask the kids what they want to doā€¦if ur on good terms with other parent ask himā€¦

Itā€™s not a long weekend for us. They have school Monday

1 of my kids get out at 1045 today and return to school Tuesday. 1 of my kids has a full day but out Friday and Monday. Talk to your kids school if you donā€™t known the schedule :unamused:

My kids have school Monday after Easterā€¦itā€™s concerned a normal weekend for me.but if your kids donā€™t have school Monday then itā€™s concerned a long weekend

Iā€™m in MD and my kids are off tomorrow and Monday for spring break. So, I guess? Idk if heā€™s only supposed to normally get them Friday-Sunday. Iā€™d say they should still come back to you on Sunday.

In my state Easter isnā€™t even considered one of the government holidays. The only reason my kids are out of school next week is because the dates are their typical spring break. I would discuss it with dad and see if you guys can work something out. Honestly tho if he only gets them two weekends a month I would give him the option of keeping them the extra day if he has off work

A lot of rudeness this morning. Ok so I am glad you do visitation I would actually text your ex and say hey itā€™s Easter weekend child/children get out of school early today would you mind picking up early and then dropping off early for Easter? See if that works
Definitely clear communication through text is best so everyone has it in writing and there will be no arguing. If it is not in a court order already.

If your ex is like mineā€¦and canā€™t spend 1 extra second (his choice)with his kidsā€¦other than the every other weekend the court gave himā€¦then Fri to Sunā€¦

I would give him the option !!

Itā€™s not considered a long weekend.

Itā€™s considered a long week for school here, but not for federal jobs.
So Iā€™d say regular weekend

You two canā€™t figure that out for yourselves?

It depends if they have school Monday or not?

Depends if they have school on Monday or not. No school on Monday, would mean a long weekendā€¦

Oh come on. Just work together. Monday kids are off school but most people work. This isnā€™t new and youā€™ve had plenty of time to figure it out. Petty fights over an extra day serves nobody.

Monday if no school Sunday if school

Minday is not an official holiday but some schools have it off.

Weā€™ll there not off school Monday so I wouldnā€™t assume till Monday. Just earlier on Friday? If thereā€™s not school

Yes long weekend but most are Friday holiday Monday back to work or school

My kids have school the next day so it would be a short weekend

Itā€™s not about is Easter weekend itā€™s about what it says in the court papers about Easter. It should clearly state who gets Easter, what time is pick up for that day and when does that holiday end for that person. Always follow the court order

If they are out of school Monday, itā€™s a long weekend. All states are different though.

If they have school on Monday, I would not consider it a long weekend.

If they have school on Monday it wouldnā€™t be a long weekend. If theyā€™re on Spring Break, youā€™ll have to hash that out.

Canā€™t yā€™all agree on something without looking it up?
