Alice Agobiani and Caoimhe Edwards from Goughs Solicitors share their guidance on approaching separation and planning child arrangements over the Easter holidays.
Glimpses of spring are in the air whether it be the daffodils we see emerging in our local parks or the lambs running around the fields. The darkness that comes with winter feels like it is beginning to fade and with that comes a sense of renewal and awakening.

The same applies to us family lawyers, spring is often a time where families have a new perspective and are embracing change. This fresh mindset is invaluable in family law. Often matters involving divorce, finances and children can become embroiled in acrimony, but spring offers us a chance to have a new perspective and resolve matters in new ways to ensure family relationships and wealth are preserved as much as possible.
If you have been considering separation or have been trying to resolve matters concerning finances and want a new perspective, now might be the time to seek advice from expert family lawyers. It is also a time when families are considering what child arrangements will take place during the Easter Holidays.

Families are often faced with challenges when agreeing the arrangements for children in Easter. The holiday is relatively short, and it is difficult to strike the balance correctly to ensure that the children spend meaningful time with both parents.
If you haven’t already communicated a child-focused plan with your partner we would advise that discussions concerning the arrangements take place sooner rather than later. Consistency for the child(ren) is key and we are here to help support you should you need any advice or help communicating your thoughts and to avoid any dispute at a later date.
