My ex has the children this year over the July 4th holiday, but what does that mean?

My ex has the children this year over the July 4th holiday according to statutory guidelines. I’ve read the statute, but I don’t understand what it means. Can you explain it to me? Utah Code Section 30-3-35(f)(iv) provides: “July 4 beginning 6 p.m. the day before the holiday until 11 p.m. or no later than 6 p.m. on the day following the holiday, at the option of the parent exercising the holiday.”

Does this mean that your ex gets July 3rd or 5th? Both? This is confusing to me.

Thanks for your question. Here’s the answer:

Utah Code Section 30-3-35(f)(iv) provides that the July 4th holiday can be exercised, at your ex’s option, either of two ways:

beginning 6 p.m. on July 3, until 11 p.m. on July 4th;

or

beginning 6 p.m. on July 3, until 6 p.m. July 5th.
