The Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Counties NJ Holiday Parenting Time Schedule
March 4, 2026
In a child custody case, courts will often order the parties to follow the court holiday schedule. The holiday schedule supersedes the normal parenting time schedule, so it is important to know what is says. Every county has its own holiday schedule. Here is the one for Burlington County. Unless otherwise specified, parenting time goes from 10am to 7:30pm. As with all parenting time orders, the parties may agree to a different schedule if they wish.
