When parents have different work schedules or live far apart, agreeing on arrangements for school holidays can be complex.
A Child Arrangements Order can be tailored to specific needs, ensuring that the child’s care and educational needs are taken care of realistically.
The court will consider factors such as the distance between the parents’ homes, the child’s age, and any previous agreements or orders between the parents.
The order can also include any necessary provisions, such as the exchange of documents, pick-up locations, and transportation arrangements for the child.
Christmas can be an especially difficult time for separated families, as it is a time that is often associated with traditions and spending time together as a family.
It is important to approach the arrangements with a child-focused approach, keeping in mind the importance of spending time with both parents.
When making a decision about Christmas arrangements, the court will consider the wishes and feelings of the child, as well as the practicalities of the situation. &
It is generally recommended that the arrangements provide for a balance of time spent with each parent, as well as taking into account family traditions and the child’s best interests.
Birthdays are a significant day for any child, and it’s essential to make sure they get to spend them with loved ones.

In family mediation, the parties can work together to create a spousal maintenance agreement that addresses the needs of both parties. Some advantages of spousal maintenance mediation include:
One of the most frequently asked questions about mediation is whether the agreements reached are binding.
Mediation agreements are not legally binding in themselves. However, they can be made legally enforceable by entering them into a court order. This means that if one party does not comply with the agreement, they can be held legally responsible. Mediation is a completely voluntary process, so all parties involved must agree on the terms and sign the documentation required.
