Parenting arrangements that work really well in term-time don’t always fit the bill when a school holiday brings a change of routine.
When separated parents cannot agree between themselves what will work best for the children during these times, it’s important they know that expert help is available.
The time children will spend with each parent over Easter might be tricky to agree. It’s not just about who will look after them day-to-day. You may also need to consider special arrangements for one or other parent taking them away for part of the school holiday.
Our mediators work with separated parents to shape a plan that fits unique family circumstances, taking into account added complications such as:
• How will any Easter break be funded?
• How might a parent’s new partner fit into the equation?
• What role might grandparents play?
Family mediation is a process where an independent, professionally-trained mediator helps you work these things out. Making arrangements in good time will give certainty to both parents, bringing you peace of mind.
The government’s Family Mediation Voucher Scheme provides up to £500 to help separating couples make settlements using family mediation.

Mediation allows you to stay in control, as no one will be made to do or agree to anything against their wishes. Unlike in a courtroom, both partners can agree to a solution rather than have a judge decide for them.
