Happy EXmas: Keeping the Festive Season Stress-Free
The holidays are meant to be joyful, but for separated or divorcing families, they can bring their fair share of challenges. From deciding who the children spend Christmas with, to navigating financial pressures, the festive season can amplify tensions.
