Now is the time that separated parents are starting to sort out arrangements who and where their children will spend time with over the Christmas period. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not easy to undertake this. Christmas at the best of times is an emotional time of the year and there is a lot of pressure on parents to give their children a magical and memorable time. Splitting the 12 days of Christmas amongst more than one family can be challenging and often brings up feelings of resentment and nostalgia for times past. Balancing these two aspects is no simple task.<\/p>\n<p>For the majority of families, parents are able to navigate this tricky time without the need for legal representation. Others however, for a number of reasons, need some additional help and guidance to formalise arrangements appropriate and fair to the individual circumstances. Court proceedings should always be the last resort but if these are initiated our advice is that legal representation should always be sought if possible. <\/p>\n<p>If you have a family law query, then please contact our team at Lund Bennett Law LLP on 0161 924 0079.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It may seem early to be thinking about Christmas, but over the past few weeks the weather has well and truly changed, and winter is in the air.
