If the response time is 10 days or fewer, then it is business days. If it is more than 10 days, then it is calendar days. More

Typically this would be the time that the children are no longer in school up until the time they must be returned to the custodial parent. It can vary because really this is based upon the custody order with the court or agreement between the parents. Therefore, there really is no legal definition for a weekend of visitation. Hope that helps. More

Under many county guidelines, the weekend is defined as after school on Friday until Sunday evening. You should check with your County Friend of the Court. That said, there is no legal definition. Some parents say the weekend parenting time is until Monday morning drop off at school, some say the weekend doesn't start until Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

While local rules can vary in some degree, when one has 30 days, 90 days etc., one is going to count calendar days. If the last day falls on a weekend or a holiday, then there deadline is extended to the next day the court is open for business.

Kevin H. Pate

Your deadline could be 30, 60 or more days depending on what court you are appealing from (federal district, state limited or state unlimited, etc.) and other circumstances of your case, and it is critical that you know what deadline applies to your situation.

Every state has a statute that explains what a business day is. It is usually work days, excluding weekends and public holidays. As far as appeals, it is usually calendar day, not a business day. However, procedure rules may vary from court to court. Be sure to check with the court, or appellate entity, where you need to file your appeal.

You should check the specific language of the custody order/agreement. Many agreements define a week as 5 days attached to the parent's regular weekend, for a total of 7 days. However, vacation rental homes often run from Sat- Sat or Sun - Sun.

Robert David Raver

The only possible difference between a "week" in a custody order and a traditional week is that the legal "week" generally means a seven-day period. A custody agreement or order of court that provides each party with two non-consecutive weeks of vacation time is common.
