You might think you have plenty of time to make Christmas arrangements including holidays and time with children, but think again!

The period leading up to Christmas can be difficult especially if you have recently separated or arrangements for your children’s time with you are unclear or susceptible to unilateral change by the other parent.

Every year the Family Court system is inundated with applications before the Christmas holidays, often at the last minute.  It is regrettably common that parents who cannot reach an agreement file an application at the last minute only to find out that their matter cannot be listed before Christmas.

Our Judges do their best with limited resources, but Christmas applications add further stress to already backlogged Court lists, while mediation, a speedier and less costly process, also takes time to arrange.
