August: The Sunday of Summer (and the Perfect Time to Get It Together)

8/1/2025

August always seems to carry a bittersweet weight. It’s the Sunday of summer—the calm before the storm of school lunches, drop-off lines, extracurriculars, and homework folders. It’s also the last window to soak up the sunshine with your kids before the rhythm of the school year takes over.

For many families, this month holds even more significance. It’s a time to take a hard look at what’s working—and what’s not. Maybe your parenting schedule needs tweaking. Maybe the co-parenting dynamic has gotten bumpy. Maybe you’ve been putting off a family law issue because the chaos of summer gave you every excuse not to deal with it.

But fall is coming. And your kids deserve to step into a new school year with structure, peace, and clarity—not confusion and conflict.

August is the perfect time to get your ducks in a row—emotionally, legally, and logistically. Because while September brings backpacks and planners, it also brings pressure. The smoother your family's foundation is now, the better your child’s headspace will be for everything that lies ahead.

At Phillips Whisnant Gazin Gorczyca Curtin, LLP (PWGGC), we understand how emotionally charged and deeply personal family law issues can be—especially when children are involved. Whether you're finalizing a custody agreement, modifying a visitation schedule, or simply seeking guidance, we’re here to help you find clarity before the calendar turns.

So take this August moment. Go make that ice cream run, hit the pool one last time, and then—when you’re ready—come to us. Because nothing feels better than walking into September knowing your family’s future is on solid ground.

Let’s make this August count.
