In my last blog I discussed the pitfalls of planning a spring break vacation when there are high conflict parents involved. I discussed the three types of spring break custody plans I see most often as a divorce and custody lawyer in San Diego.
While these custody plans could include all vacations, I am focusing on spring break specifically for this blog post. These spring break custody plans typically include allowing each parent to vacation with their child for one half of the spring break, the entire spring break, or they allow the parents to decide their own plan.
When I create spring break custody plans for my clients I consider the age of the child, the ability of the parents to communicate with each other, and the parents’ ability to take off work to spend spring break with their child.
After focusing on these considerations I ask my clients what type of spring break custody plan they would prefer for spring break. Once I obtain their preference I begin crafting a concise spring break custody plan that is easy to understand and follow.
I have found the less interruptions in the custody plan the easier it is to follow and the less confusing it will be. I include in most spring break custody plans the precise time the exchanges should occur, the location of the exchanges, and the length of time each parent has with their child during the spring break.
To inquire further about what is involved in creating a custody plan for spring break consult with a local family law attorney who can discuss this process as it relates to your specific situation.
