If you're a parent with a custody agreement, preparing for the summer can be challenging with kids out of school, vacations, and other seasonal events. It's important to plan ahead and review your existing custody agreement to make sure you and your children have a positive, stress-free experience. Here are some practical tips to help you prepare your custody agreement for the summer.

Review Your Custody Agreement

Before making any changes to your custody agreement, it is a good idea to review the existing agreement. Read through it carefully and highlight summer-related sections, such as vacation schedules, holiday schedules, and communication protocols. Creating a checklist to ensure you are fully prepared is also a good idea.

Communicate with Your Co-Parent

Clear and open communication is essential for a successful co-parenting relationship. Establish regular communication channels with your co-parent and discuss any changes or updates to your summer schedule. Consider using a mediator or therapist if you're dealing with a difficult co-parent. Keep communication focused on the well-being of your children.

Plan Ahead

Planning ahead is essential for a stress-free summer. Begin by creating a summer schedule that works for both parents and children. Decide when each parent will take vacation time and plan accordingly. Also, determine how the children will spend their time on a day-to-day basis, including pickups, drop-offs, and any childcare arrangements. Plan for special events such as birthdays and summer camps. Be prepared for unexpected travel delays.

Focus on the Children

Remember that the goal of your custody agreement is to prioritize the best interests of your children. Plan summer activities that strengthen your relationship with your children, create positive memories, and give them growth opportunities. Designate time for sports, hobbies, trips, and other events that make them happy.
