Summer Vacation Custody Rules and Scheduling Conflicts

Attorney Jana K. Jones explains that in Mecklenburg County, summer parenting schedules often give each parent two non consecutive weeks of vacation time with the child during the school break. These weeks cannot be used back to back, but both parents are typically entitled to that time. Many custody orders also include tie breaker rules for holiday conflicts, such as alternating years for major holidays like the Fourth of July so each parent gets equal opportunity over time. The key factor is that these arrangements must be written into a court order to be enforceable. Without a clear order in place, disputes over vacation time can become difficult to resolve and lead to conflict between parents.

You chose a godparent. But did you choose a guardian? ❤️

For many parents, choosing a godparent is meaningful. It is choosing someone you trust to be present, offer guidance, and hold a special place in your child’s life.

But there is another question worth asking:

If something happened to you, who would you want caring for your child?

That decision is too important to leave to assumptions.

Estate planning gives parents an opportunity to think intentionally about the people they trust, the future they want for their children, and the protections they want to put in place.

Because protecting your legacy is not only about deciding what you leave behind.

It is also about protecting who matters most. ❤️

This week’s Legacy Lesson: Have the conversation. Make the decision. Put a plan behind the love you already give your family every day.

Your Legacy. Your Rights. Your Fight.

Remember when jumping out of a swing midair felt like a perfectly reasonable decision? 😂

No helmet. No hesitation. No concern whatsoever about tomorrow.

Now we sleep wrong and spend two days wondering whether we need a heating pad, ibuprofen, or a new mattress. 😩

Funny how life changes.

The older we get, the more we realize that growth is not just about getting older. It is about learning when to take the leap, when to slow down, and when to stop pretending our knees are still 17.

That lesson applies to more than playgrounds. Life changes. Families change. Responsibilities change. The plans we made years ago may not fit the life we are living today.

So this week, give yourself permission to adjust, update, and protect what matters now.

And if somebody invites you to jump out of a swing midair, just smile and remember the good old days. Your knees already know the answer. 😂

Happy Humpday from the Law Office of Jana K. Jones, PLLC.

Your Legacy. Your Rights. Your Fight.

Show a Pattern Before Filing

Attorney Jana K. Jones explains that documenting missed parenting time is important, but filing immediately after one missed visit is not always the best move. Unless the situation involves something significant, it is often better to track multiple missed visits to show a clear pattern. Courts tend to take repeated violations more seriously than isolated incidents.

❤️ Before they arrive, everything changes.

Suddenly, the future feels different.

The dreams get bigger. The priorities shift. And the little person you have not even met yet becomes part of nearly every decision you make.

That is what building a legacy is really about.

Estate planning is one way to prepare for the people who depend on you. It gives you an opportunity to put your wishes in writing, think intentionally about who will care for your children, and create a plan for the life and family you are building.

Because protecting your family does not begin when something happens.

It begins with the decisions you make while building the future you hope they will have. ❤️

New chapters change what matters. Your planning should grow with them.

Your Legacy. Your Rights. Your Fight.
WE STAND WITH YOU.
