What the files show
In the super-provisional decision of 3 August 2026, “agreement” was construed to mean that, in the absence of an accord, there is no unilateral right to decide. In the letter of 4 June, it was offered to choose either the first or the second week of the autumn holidays; at the same time it was stated that the other week would be with the mother. By letter of 9 June, the letter of 4 June was answered, the holiday registration was adhered to and an explicit waiver was not declared.
Request and opposing position
For this aspect, no independent additional motion is decisive; the analysis compares the documented status of the case file with the result.
The decision of 7 September 2026 assigns the first autumn holiday week from 5 to 11 October to the father.
Checkpoint
The files do not answer in the abstract when an admissible counteroffer turns into a de facto right of choice or veto; however, they do show which options were specifically offered, rejected, and judicially determined.
LawReport classification
The files show a genuine interpretive conflict: on the one hand, no party is to have a unilateral right of determination; on the other hand, the father was offered a choice between two options accepted by the opposing party. It must be examined whether the refusal of a counterproposal may be construed as a lack of cooperation, without thereby effectively creating a unilateral imposition.
What does not follow from that
The documented proceedings evidence the stated motions, statements and procedural decisions. They do not, without more, demonstrate personal motives, bias, abuse of law or a general illegality. Such further assessments would require additional legal and factual grounds.
