Fourth of July custody schedule for two homes
How co-parents share Fourth of July: the common arrangements, the dates from 2026 to 2031, and who has it when you alternate by odd and even years.
Common ways to share it
- Alternate the day every year, including the evening fireworks
- Split it: daytime at one home, the evening at the other
- Let it follow the summer schedule
- When July 4 falls next to a weekend, attach it to that weekend

Fourth of July is July 4. Your own parenting plan decides the times.
In TaskFamily, Fourth of July becomes an exception that overrides the usual two-homes schedule for those days, so both homes and the children see where they will be. Swap requests need the other parent's approval and go into the record.
Free for one household. The Co-parent plan covers both homes for $19 a month - $9.50 each when two parents split it.

Dates are computed from the holiday rules (US federal holiday rules, the Western Easter date, fixed dates). This is general information, not legal advice: your parenting plan or court order decides.
