Family mediation can help navigate tricky Easter parenting arrangements.
Family dispute experts advise separated parents to plan for the school Easter break.
Parenting arrangements that work well in term-time don’t always fit the bill when a school holiday brings a change of routine. When separated parents can’t agree between themselves what will work best for the children during these times, it is important they know that expert help is available.
The time children will spend with each parent over Easter might be tricky to agree. It is not just about who will look after them day-to-day. Parents may also need to consider special arrangements for one or other parent taking them away for part of the school holiday,”
Accredited family mediators at Manchester & Cheshire Mediation work with separated parents to shape a plan that fits unique family circumstances, taking into account added complications such as:
- How will any Easter break be funded?
- How might a parent’s new partner fit into the equation?
- What role might grandparents play?
- Who will look after the children whilst either parent is working?
Family mediation is a process where an independent, professionally trained mediator helps separated parents work these things out. Making arrangements in good time will give certainty to parents and ensure that they and their children have peace of mind going into the holidays.
The government’s Family Mediation Voucher Scheme provides up to £500 to help separating couples make settlements using family mediation.
