Malaysian Family Law / Divorce Law | Chinese New Year One Moment, School the Next—How Should Child Visitation Be Arranged? ❓Part 1

Holiday Visitation Rights Can Be Arranged Like This

In situations involving custody or visitation rights,
festive periods—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—
there is actually considerable flexibility in arranging these days:

📌 One day each, taking turns
📌 This year you, next year me
📌 Or fixing certain days for each party to care for the child

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

📌 Holiday visitation is not about winning or losing,
📌 but about allowing the child, during festive occasions,
📌 to spend time with both parents in peace.
