How is the first weekend of the month considered for purposes of visitation?
The visitations are the first, third, and fifth weekend of the month. If the first day of the month is on a Saturday, is that considered the first weekend of the month?

Yes, I would tend to believe that if the first of the month falls on a Saturday that would be considered the first weekend, unless your agreement defines the weekend differently. Do you mean because the weekend as defined in your agreement falls from Friday through Sunday? Then I can see where clarification would be needed in this case. That could be why the agreement as you have written her in your question indicates a "fifth weekend" of the month to make sure that you have them at least two weekends a month. Look t the whole agreement and if you need call your attorney and ask him or her to explain it better. Good luck.
