I have a client who is Muslim from Pakistan, her ex-husband is Farsi Muslim from Afghanistan


I think you mean a Sunni from Pakistan and a Shia from Afghanistan. Farsi is the language of Iran.

and it's not at all uncommon for their Eids to fall on different days.

Is this true? Do Shias and Sunnis have different Eid dates?

There are two Eid holidays each year, you know. One is 3 days immediately following Ramadan, the other is 4 days ~70 days later. Maybe those are the "two Eids" you are refering to.
