Legal Question in Family Law in Utah
If it is my weekend with my five year old daughter (who I have full legal and physical custody of) But Monday is Presidents day and it is my year to have that Holiday. Does her father still get the weekend until Monday, or am I entitled to the whole weekend?

You're entitled to the entire weekend. The applicable provision of Utah Code Annotated, Section 30-3-35 provides:
(c) Holidays include any "snow" days, teacher development days after the children begin the school year, or other days when school is not scheduled, contiguous to the holiday period, and take precedence over the weekend parent-time. Changes may not be made to the regular rotation of the alternating weekend parent-time schedule; however, birthdays take precedence over holidays and extended parent-time, except Mother's Day and Father's Day; birthdays do not take precedence over uninterrupted parent-time if the parent exercising uninterrupted time takes the child away from that parent's residence for the uninterrupted extended parent-time.
