Скачать или смотреть The Essential Series | Children & Christmas: Legal Realities Behind the Holidays

The festive season can bring both joy and strain, particularly for separated families, international couples, and those navigating the complex web of legal, logistical, and emotional considerations that arise at year’s end.

In this Essential Series, we explore the legal frameworks that underpin family life at Christmas: from child arrangement orders and travel consent for international trips, to navigating cross-border custody issues, immigration implications for visiting relatives, and the emotional weight of separation or divorce during the holidays.

Joined by leading family law and immigration experts Christine Abbotts and Amy Sarraf of Forsters LLP, we’ll unpack:

What you can and can’t do when travelling abroad with children post-separation
Managing holiday contact arrangements to avoid conflict and protecting children’s wellbeing
Key considerations for international families and visa holders spending Christmas in the UK
How to plan ahead legally and emotionally for smoother festive seasons to come


For many, Christmas amplifies the complexities of modern family life. This conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical legal insight to help families navigate the season with confidence, understanding, and peace of mind.
