CHILD ARRANGEMENTS FOR<br />
THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD<br />
Christmas will soon be upon us and it is<br />
important to plan ahead. This is especially true<br />
for separated families, where a plan needs to<br />
be made in respect of the child arrangements<br />
over the festive period to ensure your children<br />
spend quality time with both of their parents.<br />
It is usual for an alternating arrangement to<br />
be put in place i.e. Christmas Day with one<br />
parent in year 1 and Boxing Day with that<br />
parent in year 2. Planning ahead is essential<br />
to avoid any unnecessary distress and conflict<br />
over the Christmas period.<br />
If you are unable to resolve matters via<br />
direct discussion, then there are a number<br />
of alternative options including solicitor-led<br />
negotiation, mediation, collaborative law and<br />
arbitration.<br />
A Court application should be seen as a last<br />
resort as there are often no winners in a<br />
Court room, with a Judge determining how<br />
your children will spend their time over the<br />
Christmas period. Prompt action needs to be<br />
taken to ensure that there is sufficient judicial<br />
time for any such application to be heard as<br />
the Court list fills up quickly.<br />
We offer an initial one hour<br />
consultation at £100.00 plus VAT to<br />
advise you about the applicable law and<br />
possible outcomes, the various ways<br />
your case could be funded and provide<br />
an estimate of the costs involved. This<br />
includes a letter to you to confirm the<br />
advice given during the appointment.<br />
