A Guide to Surviving Easter Break from Your Separation Lawyer
Holidays and school breaks can be daunting for single or separating parents. There are many new challenges around the management of family dynamics that will confront you around this time. At Schulman and Partners, we are more than just experts in Family Law. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide support and guidance to navigate the complexities of separation and co-parenting. As Easter draws closer, and in my opinion, it’s better to be prepared early, we have compiled this guide, to help you and your family make the most of your Easter break.
The Importance of Planning Ahead
Sharing custody of your children is always more complicated during the holidays. We find that clear communication and planning can make a big difference in the outcome.
As your separation lawyer, we recommend discussing the arrangements in advance and establishing a clear schedule. This allows you both quality time with your kids while looking after your mental health and prioritising your mental health and your children’s happiness.
Focusing on Spending Quality Time with your Children & Embrace New Traditions
Instead of looking at these Easter holidays with sadness, we encourage you to see this as an opportunity to embrace and create some new family traditions. Here are some of our favourite recommendations for Easter Weekend Activities to do with your children.

Prioritize Self-Care and Wellbeing: Seek Support and Legal Guidance
While you are busy creating some new family traditions we encourage you not to get too busy to prioritize your self-care. Single parenting and parenting while in separation, can be overwhelming and stressful. Making sure you find the time to nurture your own mental health can be essential to ensure ongoing quality care for your children. Self-care is also knowing when to reach out to seek support from family and friends, as well as legal guidance from your divorce or separation lawyer.
