My husband and I are close to reaching a settlement over divorce but are stuck on the issue of visitation. Although he doesn’t object to me having custody he wants our children to spend all the festive meals with him and his family. I disagree and fear that this could blow our chances of reaching a divorce agreement. What should I do ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 10 May, 2022Where a rift over visitation threatens to jeopardize the signing of a comprehensive divorce agreement creative drafting that suggests putting the decision in the hands of a neutral professional could save the situation. The parties could agree that as both of them remain the children’s natural guardians they are, therefore, mutually responsible for their upbringing, but that any disputes concerning the children, including over visitation, should be decided upon by a neutral professional. This could be someone that both parties agree upon or a professional appointed by the court and to whom it delegates powers concerning visitation. This would save costs and guarantee impartiality.
