What the files show
The matrimonial protection decision of 17 November 2023 entitles and obliges the father to three vacation weeks per year; no more than seven days may be taken consecutively. For 2026 three specific vacation blocks were designated; it was later expressly stated that none of the three vacation weeks would be waived.
Request and opposing position
A complete replacement block of seven calendar days in 2026 was requested for the missed August week; alternatively, another complete seven-day block should be designated.
The decision expressly does not designate this Christmas/New Year’s block as compensation for the missed week in August, but rather as a second week of leave in 2026.
“only two vacation weeks left”
Checklist item
How is the continuing annual scope of three weeks’ vacation reconciled with the result of two specifically determined vacation blocks?
LawReport classification
The central settlement is not evaluative, but calculative and dispositive in nature: the continuing title specifies three holiday weeks, the new decision specifically establishes two holiday blocks with the father. It must therefore be examined how the reasoning justifies the transition from a threefold annual extent to two concretely enforceable weeks.
What does not follow from that
The documented proceedings substantiate the applications, statements and decision steps mentioned. They do not, without more, demonstrate personal motives, bias, abuse of rights or a general unlawfulness. Such further assessments would require additional legal and factual grounds.
