Child custody disputes can be emotionally challenging, and they can involve a variety of complex legal issues. When parents who are going through the divorce process or are no longer in a relationship disagree about how to handle issues related to their children, they may turn to the court system for resolution. However, litigation in family court can be costly and time-consuming, and it can lead to increased levels of conflict between parents. To help avoid these issues, parents may utilize other options as they work to resolve child custody disputes.

The holiday season is often thought of as a time of joy and celebration. It provides many people with opportunities to spend time with their loved ones, give gifts, remember positive experiences from throughout the year, and prepare for the year to come. However, for those who are going through a divorce or who are adjusting to life after divorce, this time of year can be especially challenging. The stress and emotions surrounding divorce can be heightened during the holiday season, and ongoing disagreements may make it difficult to get the most out of holiday celebrations.
