With the holidays approaching, questions about custody and decision-making often become more pressing. Who gets the kids on holidays? What if your ex gets your child a gift you disapprove of? Courts typically prioritize the child’s best interests, and parenting plans often address holiday schedules. When disagreements arise, such as over gifts or significant decisions in education or medical care, the court may appoint a guardian ad litem or order an evaluation to help resolve conflicts. Understanding your rights and options can help you navigate these situations with confidence.

Is your company trying to decide what benefit to add to your compensation packages? Consider adding childcare! A study from Boston Consulting Group and an organization called “Mom’s first” just found that a top investment a company can make is paid childcare for its employees. The study found that this benefit improves employee retention, productivity, and loyalty. Only 12% of American workers have access to paid childcare. It falls to 6% for part-timers and those in the lowest income bracket. The study shows offering childcare is an investment that pays for itself! For each $1 spent on Child Care by the companies interviewed, they’ve received benefits of between 90 cents and $4.25. So, spending $1 on childcare resulted in up to $4.25 in productivity gains and employee retention. Thanks to one of my favorite podcasts, The Best One Yet, for highlighting this story!
