Separated parents: will the children spend Father's Day with him?
Publié le 11 juin 2020 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Father's Day will take place on June 21, and separated parents often wonder which parent the children should be with that day. The answer can be found in their court decision or agreement (parental or divorce). It is necessary to check whether a special device is planned for this celebration. Without a court order or agreement, parents can organize amicably.
Parents have a judgment or an agreement
Visitation rights are available for Father's Day
In this case, children should spend Father's Day at the parent's home. The father, whose time is not necessarily a usual day-care (for example if it is not his weekend according to the calendar) can require the other parent to hand over the children for Father's Day.
Depending on the decisions or conventions, children may be expected to spend the whole weekend at their father's house or simply on Sunday of Father's Day.
Visitation rights are not provided for Father's Day
In this case, the parents can agree amicably to organize a special right of access for Father's Day. Parents can always agree on an organization different from the decision or convention (for example, by exchanging a weekend).
If, on the other hand, the father fails to obtain agreement to have his children for Father's Day, custody as provided for in the judgment or convention must apply.
Parents have no judgment or agreement
In this case, the parents can amicably agree that the children will be at their father's house on Father's Day.
Please note
This information is of course also valid for Mother's Day.
When a family judge determines the residence and the rights of access and accommodation, parents may ask him or her to provide a specific organization for Mother's Day and Father's Day.
