We have a lot to learn from co-parents and a lot to admire as they understand that the children’s needs are to be put first.
So, if you’re a co-parent and Christmas planning feels like it’s getting away from you, you may be reassured to know that Jackson Lees has a team of experienced family law solicitors who can support you. We help by giving you clarity on the question of where you stand. We also offer practical family law advice on how it’s possible to strike a good balance between the competing demands of kids, the ex and, crucially, your own mental welfare.
Be prepared
“A good piece of advice”, says Lisa, “do your research. You can read the article, on our blog, that offers a simple, six-point plan to help co-parents prepare for Christmas. Planning ahead, being flexible and keeping channels of communication open is amongst a number of simple things that will help make sure the children’s needs are kept at the front of everyone’s mind.”

If you’re still a little unsure or need to iron out the kinks, then it may be time to seek a little professional help on how to best reach an agreement on points of disagreement. By doing this you’ll reduce conflict and in doing that, have a happier Christmas for all.
Get the balance right
We know just how crucial it is to get the balance right in order that each parent can share special moments with their children. We also recognise that you have worked incredibly hard at creating that sense of balance for your family.
There are a lot of ways to reach an understanding and finding the right solicitor is the first step. While both caregivers are putting the children’s needs first, they may have different ideas of how to do this. The right advice and appropriate interventions can help all parties navigate apparent conflicts with greater ease.
The Jackson Lees Family team have years of experience helping co-parents with constructive conversations about Christmas arrangements.
