Summer is right around the corner, and for Chicago co-parents, now is the perfect time to get ahead of seasonal schedule changes. A little planning now can help keep things smooth, predictable, and stress-free for everyone—especially your child.

Here are a few legal reminders to keep in mind:

✓ Review your parenting plan for summer-specific rules
✓ Communicate early (and in writing!) about travel, camps, and childcare
✓ Double-check notice requirements for schedule changes
✓ Plan transitions, including transportation and medical needs
✓ Confirm rules for out-of-state or international travel
✓ Document any agreed-upon changes
