Spring Break is nearly upon us and that’s a time kids look forward to. For a lot of families it’s also a time for vacation. As a divorce and custody lawyer in San Diego one of the issues I come across often is determining which parent is allowed to take vacation time with their child.
Many times this decision is controlled by a court order for custody. Certain custody orders allow for one parent to have vacation time with their child for the entire break while allowing the other parent vacation time during a different school break.
Sometimes a child custody plan provides for one parent to have vacation time with their child during half of the spring break and the other parent the other half of the break.
Sometimes the child custody plan allows parents to determine on their own what spring break plans they will have. While this works fine for parents who communicate well with each other this does not work well for high conflict parents. These parents need concrete child custody plans so there is little chance of confusion regarding spring break plans.
I will talk more about crafting spring break child custody plans in my next blog.
To inquire further about how to create a child custody plan for spring break consult with a local family law attorney who can discuss this process as it relates to your specific situation.
