June Dreams: Helping Families Focus on Summer, Not Stress

6/1/2025

Summer has always held a special place in a child’s heart. It’s the season of freedom—long days filled with sunshine, laughter, popsicles, and backyard adventures. It’s what kids look forward to all year long: a break from routine, a chance to explore, rest, and recharge before the school bell rings again in the fall.

Summer is for bike rides and beach days, family barbecues and fireworks, late bedtimes and sticky fingers from melting ice cream. These are the moments children remember, the kind of memories that shape their childhood and stay with them for a lifetime.

But when families are in the middle of legal conflicts—whether it’s divorce, custody disputes, or co-parenting struggles—summer can quickly lose its magic. What should be a carefree time becomes clouded by tension, uncertainty, and emotional stress. And unlike during the school year, when children are often distracted by classes, sports, and extracurriculars, summer places them squarely in the middle of it all. They’re home more. They see more. They feel more.

At Phillips, Whisnant, Gazin, Gorczyca & Curtin, LLP (PWGGC), we believe that legal conflict should never define a child’s summer—or their memories. That’s why we’re here: to help families navigate these challenging times with care, clarity, and compassion.

Whether you need help creating a fair parenting plan, modifying an existing custody agreement, or finding a peaceful way forward during a difficult transition, our team is here to take the legal burden off your shoulders. So you can focus on what really matters—letting your kids be kids, and giving them the summer they deserve.

Now more than ever, it's important to address these issues head-on. Kids are paying attention. They notice raised voices, unspoken tension, and shifting routines. Let’s give them the gift of security, stability, and sunshine.

Let PWGGC help you turn the page on conflict—and make this summer a season of peace, fun, and joyful memories.
