Holiday Visitation Schedule Details

Summary

In Indiana, holiday visitation schedules for custodial and noncustodial parents are defined by specific guidelines. For Christmas vacation, the period is split equally between parents. In even-numbered years, the custodial parent has the first half, while the noncustodial parent has the second half. In odd-numbered years, this order is reversed. If Christmas does not fall within a parents designated week, they are entitled to time with the child from Noon to 9:00 PM on Christmas Day. For example, in 2024, an even-numbered year, the custodial parent would have the first half of the vacation starting at 6:00 PM on December 19, 2024, until approximately December 27, 2024, at 6:00 PM.
