Spring Cleaning Your Parenting Plan: Spring Break & Custody Agreements: What Divorced Parents Should Know

Spring break is a time for fun, relaxation, and family adventures, but for divorced parents, it can also bring stress and conflicts over custody arrangements. Whether your parenting plan clearly outlines spring break schedules or you’re facing last-minute changes, here are some essential tips to navigate co-parenting during this time:

  • Review Your Parenting Plan – Before making any travel plans, check your custody agreement. Many agreements specify who gets spring break with the kids each year. If it’s unclear, open communication with your co-parent is key.
  • Plan Ahead & Communicate Early – If you’re planning a trip, notify the other parent well in advance. Provide itinerary details, emergency contact information, and ensure both parents are on the same page.
  • Be Flexible & Put the Kids First – Life happens, and sometimes plans need to change. If your co-parent requests a schedule swap, consider whether it benefits your child’s happiness and well-being.
  • Use Co-Parenting Apps – If communication is a challenge, apps like OurFamilyWizard or Talking Parents can help streamline discussions and keep records of agreements.

Spring break should be about creating memories with your children, not conflicts with your co-parent. A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable break for everyone.
