Summer Custody Snarls in Bucks County

School is just about out. Do you know where your kids should be this summer? More importantly, as a divorced parent with shared custody, do you and your ex have a clearly-laid-out plan of who is responsible for drop-offs and pickups at camp or daycare?

This is your eleventh hour reminder that keeping it smooth and cool for your children during the summer months requires advance planning. Our office can help you with a Custody Stipulation that clarifies each parent’s responsibility. Summer schedules are rarely as consistent or predictable as they are during the regular school year. Don’t risk a miscommunication or worse, an ex who might put his or her children at risk to prove a point to you.

Another common source of tension for divorced parents is who pays for summer camp. Where once this might have come from shared marital finances, now each parent’s budget has to stretch to pay it. Even if you are only paying half, timing of cash flow may be a more urgent issue to one parent than the other.

My office can help here as this becomes an issue of Support. Give us a call if your summertime still needs a smooth plan. That way, summer really can be a time of rest and play for you and your family.
