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 is a special time, especially for children. When parents separate, however, it can turn into a stressful and complicated time, particularly when it comes to making arrangements for the child.
A Child Arrangements Order can specify which parent the child should spend Christmas with and on what dates.
The order can also include provisions for parents to communicate with each other over the Christmas period, allowing the child to speak and spend time with both parents.
Birthdays are a significant day for any child, and it’s essential to make sure they get to spend them with loved ones.
You can include details about how to celebrate the child’s birthdays in your Child Arrangements Order.
You might agree that the child should spend the whole day with one parent or be with one parent for the first part of the day and the other parent for the latter part.

Spousal maintenance, also known as alimony or spousal support, is another important issue in divorce or separation. In a spousal maintenance mediation session, parties can discuss and negotiate the amount and duration of the support payments. Here are some tips for a successful spousal maintenance mediation:
Family mediation itself is not legally binding. It is the agreement that is reached through mediation that can be legally binding.
A mediator will encourage the parties to reach an agreement that is acceptable to all. Once an agreement has been reached, it can be written up into a formal legal agreement to be approved by a court.
If a party breaches the formal agreement, then they can be taken to court. It is crucial to note that only written agreements can be legally binding.
