Everyone is so busy and Christmas seems toget here faster every year. Before we know it, the year will be 2025.Holiday visitation can sometimes be confusing.

Agood example of co-parenting is when parents can work together and allow one parent to spend Christmas Eve with the child andthe other Christmas Day. Now, this will not always work with your schedules, but if it does your child will benefit from spending time with both parents. Not every couple is able to co-parent at this level yet, and that’s ok. Co-parentingduringtheholidayscanbe as easy as letting your child call or FaceTime your ex, even if it’s not ordered. Remember, this is about what is in the best interest of your child.At Branch Law Firm, we are committed to helping you find ways to co-parent.
