A divorce may require parents to share in childcare responsibilities to a greater extent than they may have done previously. Summer vacation is right around the corner and with the children being out of school this responsibility becomes all the more greater.
In many situations childcare responsibilities and arrangements need to be made. Work with the other parent to identify, select, and pay for appropriate summer camps or similar activities for the children. Review your settlement agreement to determine how these costs are to be allocated between the two of you.
In addition to the children’s activities, parents are often afforded specific box of parenting time during the summer. In the settlement agreements are prepared for clients the amount of time is identified as are any notice provisions a parent requesting summer vacation will supply to the other parent. The purpose of this requirement is to help ensure that the children are not double booked. Begin working with the other parent as soon as possible to make the arrangements so that no one is disappointed.
