New Year's Eve and Day is December 31 and January 1. Your own parenting plan decides the times.
In TaskFamily, New Year's Eve and Day 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.
