Getting Through Christmas

Coping with Christmas

What can separated and divorced families do to make Christmas a little easier on themselves and their children? Many disagreements start because of parent’s expectations of what will happen at this time of year. You expect that children will spend Christmas with you. The other parent may expect the same.

Communication is the key. Start communicating well ahead of time and keep your children’s happiness as your priority and you will have a good start to a happier Christmas. To avoid conflict, you need to agree on what you will do ahead of time. Discuss your ideas with your children and ask your children what they want to do.

Despite your best efforts, it is possible that difficulties may still arise. If you find yourself in this situation, always remember that help is available. Equilaw Solicitors can explain what the law says regarding various situations with relationships and children and give you advice about the options available to you. To make an appointment or to discuss your options please call us on 02 6542 5566.
