Help! We Can’t Agree On Our Summer Holiday Plans

It is not unusual for parents to disagree about where and for how long their children should spend on holiday with each of them. If it’s a disagreement about a booked holiday abroad, it can get stressful quite quickly…

The courts are used to dealing with last minute applications about holidays.

Planning for a holiday with children has more than enough admin and stress involved, so if you layer it with a disagreement as to whether you should even go at all, it can be extremely stressful very quickly.

Parents disagree about holidays for many sensible and understandable reasons: sometimes there may be concerns about instability in a particular country, or one parent may feel the amount of time away is too fast a progression, especially if overnights have only recently started.

So what to do? Well to start with, you both need access to impartial legal information. Which is why we’ve created an online course which covers foreign holidays. It may be that understanding the factors the court would apply is all you need to find a solution. Or it may be that you need some further legal advice, which you can get very quickly either sharing a lawyer together or apart. But when you meet your lawyer, by informing yourself about the law you’ll be able to focus your time and theirs much more effectively, so you can reach a solution if possible, or access an emergency court hearing if that’s what your situation demands.

We posted previously about holidays abroad, and our online course which specifically looks at that issue, if it’s one you’re facing yourself.

But it also made me think of summer holiday reading lists! You may well be all set with the latest psychological thriller, but if you wanted some ideas for books around the subject of separation and divorce, here are some ideas:
