Legal Issues In Parenting

With summer vacation fast approaching, dividing children's holidays between separated parents can often be difficult. Open lines of communication and planning between the parents is essential.

What if two parents cannot agree on their holiday arrangements?

Many parents can strike a balance in terms of agreeing where, when and with whom a child will spend their holidays. However, sometimes separated parents seek assistance from lawyers and the family court to address holiday disputes.

It is very difficult to predict how the court would deal with a hypothetical case, because any determination that the court makes in relation to holiday arrangements will take into account the facts of each individual case and look at what is in a child's best interests.
