Now that spring has arrived the school year is coming to an end. Besides the usual plans for summer activities for your children, the thought of prom comes to mind. Asking someone or being asked to attend the prom is usually stressful enough. The stress of prom, however, can increase for children of divorce.
As a child custody attorney in San Diego, I have seen on many occasions where decisions regarding the prom become more frustrating and conflicting due to the inability of a child’s parents to co-parent together.
Areas of conflict include; decisions of whether the child is allowed to go to prom, what outfit they are allowed to wear, who they are allowed to ask to attend prom, which parent will be responsible for paying for prom, and which parent will be responsible for the safety of the child on the night of prom.
As a family law attorney and divorce lawyer, I try to point out these issues to my clients and help them focus on the best interests of their children.
To inquire further about more specifics of co-parenting and child custody and visitation consult with a local family law attorney who can discuss this process as it relates to your specific situation.
