Our legal team at Butler, Giraudo & Meister, P.C. can assist you with any of your family law issues, no matter the circumstances. We want you to achieve a peaceful holiday season.

Sharing Custody

Parents will want to spend time with their children as much as possible around the holiday season. This can make it difficult to share custody during this time. One of the most popular solutions for sharing custody during the holidays is to have an alternating schedule between the spouses. To learn more about your options, do not hesitate to contact our firm.

Changing Custody

The holidays can make co-parents realize that their current custody arrangement does not work for them. Parents may seek to change the agreement during this time, especially if they are both struggling to spend time with their children during the holidays. Changing custody agreements can be difficult to do last minute. However, with the right attorney, you will be able to explore your options to come to a conclusion that is best for everyone involved. To learn more about changing your custody agreement and how our firm can assist you, give us a call today.

Visitation Rights

Other family members such as grandparents or siblings may be curious about their visitation rights during the holiday season. Visitation rights will depend on the custody agreement that has been put into place by the parents. It is likely up to the discretion of the parents if you have visitation rights. This is why it is important to retain the services of a knowledgeable family law attorney who has experience handling visitation rights matters.
