So you have decided to get a divorce. Most likely, your attention has been all about
financial matters and where you are going to live, and all those kind o things. However, at some point you need to focus on the arrangements that you and your wife are going to make in reference to your children.
How are you going to manage visitation? You have to take into account your working schedules, and how far away you and your spouse are going to live from each other. But you have to decide when each of you are going to have the kids. And you really have to have a workable plan for Christmas and New Years.
How are your going to arrange when and where the kids are dropped off. You want to make arrangements to avoid conflict between the two of you as much as possible. Having your new love interest drop of the kids is probably not a great idea.
Event Planning. Who is going to attend your sons football games and your daughter’s soccer practice. If you can’t agree on these items, you could address them during mediation.
Leaving your kids with other people. If you think that your ex-spouse might want to leave your kids in a situation that you are not comfortable with, you might ask that you be given first chance at taking the kids when those situations arise.
