The Holiday Season: Family Law

The holiday season can be complex for families managing shared parenting arrangements and navigating post-separation dynamics. A few simple strategies can help reduce stress and ensure a harmonious holiday for all involved.


If not already done so, finalising parenting arrangements as soon as practicable can help create an amicable holiday season for all. It’s also essential to adhere to existing consent orders or parenting plans.


Ensure holiday plans focus on the children’s well-being and stability. Prioritising their needs can contribute to a peaceful holiday and foster positive co-parenting relationships.


By planning carefully, focusing on the children’s needs, and approaching issues constructively, separated families can still enjoy holiday season. If you require advice, please contact our team for assistance on 02 6542 5566.
