This is going to be a difficult time for separated parents who haven’t yet managed to develop a team approach. Courts are generally closed for business except for the ,most urgent cases. So, where does that leave you?
Many Parents may still be in a level of limbo in their Court process as they await their next court date. Unfortunately, this next date may not come for months. Some parents may be using temporary plans implemented as a result of a Temporary Court Order. These plans may not “fit” for the long term. Here are some steps you can take:
Consult with your lawyer and ask their advice about whether you MUST follow your Order. Talk to them about the possibility of making changes on consent.
Consider meeting with an Accredited Family Mediator to help you and the other parent come up with a new temporary plan that you both can agree with
And/Or, meetwith a Family Mediator to develop some joint parenting strategies to help manage this limbo time.
Your children deserve as much love as they can get during these times! Let’s work together to help keep their lives running smoothly ❤️
