    Every Holiday, Defined

    Eighteen holidays with even-year and odd-year columns and precise start and end times — from Thanksgiving and winter break to birthdays and three-day weekends.

    Summer, Solved

    Pick one of three summer architectures — split halves, a fixed block, or the regular schedule with vacation weeks — plus written-notice deadlines that prevent surprises.

    Peace Later

    Holiday time overrides the regular schedule — that's how courts almost always order it. A solid written agreement now is peace later, and that's in your kids' best interest.
