Facing the Holidays During a Covid-Era Divorce

November 9, 2020 By Esther Donald

Divorce and the Holiday season

As the “longest year ever” starts to draw to a close, we turn to thoughts of the holidays.  The Halloween inflatables have come down, the candy has been eaten (except for that secret stash in the pantry!), and plans are being made for Thanksgiving and beyond.  But how to plan and how to celebrate in this year of COVID-19?  Extended families are separated by masks and geography.  Many of us have experienced unspeakable loss since March, and all of us have dealt with fear, … [Read more...]

HOLIDAY SEASON 2020 – COVID STYLE

October 19, 2020 By Gratia Schoemakers

covid holiday season

Can you believe it? The Holidays are upon us. I do not know where the year went. I guess COVID messed with my internal clock or something because although I cannot wait for the "New Normal" to return to the "Old Normal," COVID will impact how we celebrate this Holiday Season. Before I go any further, I cannot stress the importance of complying with your court order! No one should willfully violate a court order. "Willful disobedience." As it can expose a party to contempt and sanctions. It is … [Read more...]

divorce and holidays

Holidays can be difficult for children during a divorce.  To ease the pain, establish new traditions for you and your children to enjoy over the holidays.  New Christmas activities will bring you and your children together and give them joy during this trying time.  If possible, plan a joint Christmas celebration with your spouse because that will help your children feel you both still love them.  If that’s not practical, plan new activities for you and your children to … [Read more...]

Impending Divorce? How to Not Spoil the Holidays

November 29, 2017 By Jennifer Tull Leave a Comment

The end-of-the-year holiday season can be stressful.  There are presents to buy and meals to cook and people to be around with whom we don’t necessarily agree.  Even the most functional of families sometimes find it difficult to maintain their equilibrium among all the chaos.  Add divorce into the mix and the situation can quickly go from precarious to disastrous.  Here are some tips for how to make the holidays go smoothly when you’re dealing with restructured … [Read more...]

College Students and Divorce

May 18, 2017 By Carol Mapp Leave a Comment

college aged child affected by divorce

Much has been written about children and divorce. Divorcing or divorced parents of college-aged students may underestimate how this change in family circumstance affects their offspring. College students are not “immune” from effects of changes within the family unit, parents’ behaviors and expectations, or uncertainty regarding where they belong in their family post divorce. The apprehension surrounding this “new normal” can leave a young adult feeling out of sorts and emotionally … [Read more...]

Holidays can be daunting for children in the middle of a divorce. No matter how you celebrated past holidays, you need to establish new traditions now that you are divorcing.

Holiday Time-Sharing When You Are a “Different (Divorced) Kind of Family”

November 29, 2016 By Honey Sheff, Ph.D. Leave a Comment

holiday when divorced

Holidays are a time for families. There is perhaps no more difficult time to be divorced than during the holiday season when everywhere that you look you see a reminder of what you have lost. In light of how hard it is for divorced adults to get through the holidays, it is just as hard for your children when their “new normal” or their “different kind of family” means they are sharing their holiday celebrations between homes and between parents. Divorced parents create a year round … [Read more...]
