Special Occasions

The best interests of the child are the primary concern of the court when the court determines how the child’s time is split between the parents.

Special occasions are important to the child, the parents and extended families as this is a way for the child to maintain strong relationships.

The special occasions that the Court may address include:

  • Child’s birthday
  • Parent’s birthday
  • Mothers Day & Fathers Day
  • Christmas, Easter, Boxing Day
  • Other religious days associated with the child’s religion and commitments
  • Pupil Free Days / Teacher Development Days
  • Public holidays
