The holidays are the best time of the year, right? Well, things can quickly go south when legal problems start to make an appearance. Imagine this: You are excited to take your children to visit your aging parents for Christmas. But tensions rise when you and your ex-spouse cannot agree on visitation hours during the holiday. Now, you are in a legal dispute with your ex—and you may miss Christmas with the kids.

If you’re not prepared for the worst, even the best-laid plans can turn to ash when legal drama arises. That’s why it’s important for you to be proactive in taking legal protection with you on the road or keeping it handy for your at-home gatherings. Check out just a few of the ways that the holidays can turn sour if you have a legal run-in:

Travel Troubles

Flying can be a tedious task at any time of the year. During the holidays, complications can arise quicker than you can say, ‘Jingle bells.’ It would be terrible to fly across the country, only to discover that the airline lost your gift for Cousin Tom. Or maybe you never make it into the air at all due to canceled flights. Some of the legal issues that ensue

could mean that you’ll have to keep dealing with this hassle throughout the holiday season and beyond.

Family Drama

The holidays are busy, and that usually means that you have to work with parents and siblings, spouses and exes, and extended family to plan your get-togethers. This is when arguments over visitation hours and schedules tend to get heated.

Perhaps some of your family members decide now is the time to start a battle over who will receive great-grandma’s heirloom dishes in the future. From the traumatic to the seemingly trivial, family legal issues are always a headache.

Party Problems

Maybe you love hosting holiday parties at your own house. That’s great—until someone slips, falls, and sues you for their injuries. Or maybe one of your guests spills their eggnog all over your antique piano, and now you need them to pay for the repairs. Even the most fun party situations can end in legal frustrations.

The LegalShield Solution

During this busy, fun, and sometimes chaotic holiday season, you don’t need anything else added to your full plate. That’s why LegalShield is ready to help you deal with the legal issues that may pop up. You can contact your LegalShield provider law firm to schedule consultations and receive advice about legal situations that you may be going through.
