I'd put something about holidays in there too. You need a solid agreement about holidays so he can't try to screw you later. My ex is telling me right now that Thanksgiving and Christmas are too far away to plan! I told him I was having the kids on Christmas Eve to be with my family. I think the grandparents come before his girlfriend and her family. He won't give me a solid clue about Thanksgiving, but I don't care. I'm getting them Christmas eve and Christmas day till noon and he actually wasn't a jerk about it. I'm also getting Halloween, he agreed without batting an eye.

It's really difficult to try to predict what may happen in the future, but it looks like you are really thinking ahead. It's good to have an enforceable agreement put in place now.

I have a good Permanent Parenting Plan that is a great tool to use to help think about all of the holidays and such.


It's never too far away to plan... and better to get the details divided up while things are neutral... never try to make an unbiased, fair plan when you're at the point where one of you wants something.... like Christmas day!
