What the files show

The information on remedies states a non-extendable appeal period of 30 days to the Kantonsgericht St. Gallen. The decision declares itself immediately enforceable and points out that any appeal does not have automatic suspensive effect. The decision of 7 September 2026 allocates the first autumn holiday week from 5 to 11 October to the father.

Request and opposing position

For this aspect, no separate additional motion is determinative; the analysis compares the documented state of the files with the result.

The decision of 7. September 2026 assigns the first autumn holiday week from 5. bis 11. Oktober to the father.

Checkpoint

Whether and how an appeal can take practical effect before the end of the specific vacation period concerned is a procedural question separate from the substantive question concerning the vacation.

LawReport classification

For time-bound leave rights, not only the formal existence of a remedy is relevant, but also whether a decision can practically take effect in time before the affected period. The case file records here the tension between immediate enforceability, the absence of an automatic suspensive effect and a 30-day appeal period.

What does not follow from this

The documented proceedings substantiate the referenced motions, statements and steps in the decision-making process. They do not, on their own, establish personal motives, bias, abuse of law or a general unlawfulness. Such further assessments would require additional legal and factual grounds.
