Back to school season has arrived once more. Instead of returning to school on Labor Day as it formerly was, more and more schools are doing so in August. As a result, parents are required to schedule their children's school years earlier than in the past. Divorced parents may find this planning to be quite tough as they juggle work, school, and parenting commitments.


Your kids' routines may change significantly over time from how they were when you and your co-parent first separated. Additionally, if you and your ex-spouse split up when your kids were very young, you might now be juggling the change from full-day kindergarten and preschool to extracurricular activities and after-school programs. 


That said, You might need to review your visiting and/or custody schedule based on the specifics of your children's schedule adjustments. You might also need to revise your parenting schedule to reflect how you and your co-parent will handle any additional activities and costs.


If you, your co-parent, or your child has experienced a significant change in circumstances that renders your present visitation or custody schedule unsatisfactory, you may be able to seek a modification with the assistance of a Miami family law lawyer. The courts will take into account a variety of things while evaluating modification requests, but their main objective is to keep the child's best interests in mind. You'll probably need to establish that the change in circumstances is lasting and/or permanent in addition to proving that it is in the child's best interests.
