Possession Day Calculation | Frequently Asked Question!

As summer approaches, a common query arises about calculating dates for extended summer possession. Many wonder whether to start counting from the day of possession or the next day. This issue often leads to confusion, especially with custom dates.

When default dates are used, such as July 1st to July 31st, the process is straightforward. For custom dates, understanding the calculation becomes crucial.

The key is to start counting from the day after possession. For example, if the non-custodial parent picks up the child at 6 PM on July 1st, July 2nd at 6 PM marks the completion of one full day. Thus, July 2nd is considered day one.

To avoid errors, refer to the default dates and count from there. Remember, a full day counts as 24 hours from the time of possession. This method ensures accurate calculation of possession days during the extended summer period.
