Frequently Asked Questions

How do school holidays affect the Standard Possession Order?

School holidays can modify the regular possession schedule as outlined in the Standard Possession Order. Special provisions are typically made for extended breaks.

What if the school calendar changes after the year begins?

Usually, the possession schedule follows the school’s published calendar at the time the order was established. However, it’s important for both parents to communicate any changes.

How are early release days handled?

Unless specified otherwise in your order, possession periods typically start once school is dismissed, including on early release days.
