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
