What to do when visiting in-laws for the first time?
Waking up with a bad head and no memory, while the in-laws give you sideways glances all morning muttering something about dancing on their antique oak dining table is not going to be a family visit you or your spouse will care to remember. Leave the drinking for the girls’/ lads’ nights out when your back home.
Do you feel stressed when visiting in-laws?
No matter how smoothly things go when visiting in-laws, bear in mind that your partner is likely to be feeling slightly stressed by this visit too. If they only see their parents on these annual visits they are probably going to be hoping that things go as smoothly as possible.
Why do I get anxious when visiting my in-laws?
The annual trip to visit your other half’s side of the family may leave you feeling anywhere between slightly anxious and absolutely stressed. Either way it is a situation that most of us are not completely comfortable with and can often leave you feeling at least nervous anticipation.

What happens if you can’t agree on visitation time?
If you can’t agree on when you and the child should spend time together, the courts will defer to the custodial parent until the court orders otherwise. In other words, if you and your ex-partner don’t agree on the weekends or holidays you’ll get to spend with your child, you’ll need to file a formal motion asking the court to decide for you.
When to include reasonable visitation in a custody order?
In cases involving older children, a noncustodial parent (parent without primary physical custody) may have longer visits that involve overnights. You should only include reasonable visitation in your custody order if you and the child’s other parent can communicate well and do not have outstanding issues with each other.
