Chinese New Year One Moment, School the Next—How Should Child Visitation Be Arranged❓

Festive Visitation Arrangements: A Practical Approach

In matters of custody or visitation,
festive seasons—especially Chinese New Year—
are often when disputes between parents are most likely to arise.

Reunion Eve, the first day, second day, and even the third day of the New Year—
these days actually offer a lot of flexibility in arrangements:

📌 One parent can have one day each, on a rotating basis
📌 Or alternate yearly—this year with you, next year with me
📌 Or fix specific days for each parent every year

Even if custody or divorce proceedings have already begun,
both parties can still negotiate and reach an agreement.
Once agreed, it can simply be submitted to the court
and recorded as a consent order.

📌 Festive visitation is not about winning or losing
📌 It is about allowing the child, during the holidays,
📌 to spend time with both parents in peace and security.
