The holiday season can amplify both the joy and the stress for divorced or separated parents. In this re-broadcasted episode of Divorce at Altitude, Ryan and Amy revisit one of the most common challenges families face this time of year: creating a holiday parenting plan that works for everyone—especially your kids. We break down the key differences between regular parenting schedules and holiday-specific schedules, and why courts often treat them separately. Ryan and Amy also walk through important considerations such as your child’s age, travel logistics, extended family involvement, and how your existing custody arrangement interacts with holiday time. You’ll also learn practical strategies for minimizing holiday conflict, including when a parenting coordinator may help, how to approach scheduling conversations proactively, and ways to reduce last-minute surprises. Because every family is unique, the episode highlights an online tool designed to help you thoughtfully plan both regular and holiday parenting schedules. What is Divorce at Altitude?
