Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that Michigan courts often move away from traditional family holiday routines during a divorce to establish a new, shared schedule that is equitable for both parents. The court's primary focus remains on the best interests of the children, ensuring both families remain involved in special moments through court-ordered modifications.
• It is a misconception to assume that pre-divorce holiday traditions will automatically stay the same once the legal process begins. • Courts frequently impose new schedules that require holidays to be shared or alternated between parents to ensure fairness. • Common arrangements include rotating major holidays every other year or splitting specific days like Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. • Holiday schedules are designed to be practical, potentially changing travel plans to locations like Arizona or Florida based on the new order. • The ultimate goal of the court is to protect the children's best interests by maintaining their connection to both parents during significant times.
