Summer brings schedule shifts, travel, and time off, and for co-parents it also requires thoughtful planning. Here are three things to keep in mind when reviewing your parenting plan for the summer months:

👉Vacation Time – Clarify how vacation requests are made, how much notice is required, and whether travel outside the state or country needs mutual agreement.

👉Camps & Activities – Decide who is signing up, paying for, and transporting kids to summer programs.

👉Flexibility & Communication – Summer plans change. Build in space for flexibility and agree on how changes will be communicated and handled.

Family law has always reflected the values, traditions, and social structures of the societies that create it. But in the last decade, and especially in the last few years, countries around the world have begun to rethink the legal frameworks that govern marriage, divorce, custody, inheritance, and personal identity. These reforms are reshaping the international family law landscape in ways that affect cross‑border families, multinational couples, and practitioners who navigate the complexities of jurisdiction and conflict of laws.
