Parents’ Day was on July 26th. Although celebrating Parents’ Day can be complicated for parents who have gone through a divorce, the Law Office of David A. King, P.C. shares advice on how co-parents can both celebrate. 

There are 24 hours in a day. If both parents are willing, they can divide the day in half. In other words, one parent can spend time with the child in the morning, while the other parent gets to spend time with the child at night. Dividing Parents’ Day in half allows the child to spend time with both parents. The Law Office of David A. King also mentions how both parents can decide to spend the day together with their child if they are both willing to. If both parents spend the day with the child, they should remember to keep their child in mind, making sure that there are no unnecessary arguments. 

However, if one parent decides to step down from celebrating Parents’ Day, there are still ways that a child can communicate their feelings to that parent. The child can make something for the parent who is not with them. Thus, one parent will get to spend the day with the child and the other gets a material memory from that day.
