That is if the court actually states what the stepmom claims it is. When holidays are split, what one parent gets one year, the other parent gets the next year.
An example, if the parent gets the first half of the Christmas vacation and the dates run from 12/20-12/26, then the other parent gets those dates the next year. Holiday visitation overrides normal EOW visitation. I still think the ncp is reading the court order wrong.
