The Holidays: A Time for Joy — and Sometimes Tension

Dana Sasieta | Nov 19 2025 16:00

The holidays are often a magical time filled with joy, warmth, and connection. They invite us to slow down, enjoy the company of loved ones, and create cherished memories. However, these gatherings can sometimes dig up old tensions or spark fresh disputes. While nobody plans for family festivities to lead to legal trouble, it can happen — and taking proactive steps can help prevent issues from escalating.

 

At Sasieta Law, we assist families throughout Miami, Tampa, and Orlando with sensitive matters such as child custody, property disputes, and neighbor conflicts that often surface during the holiday season.


Custody Issues

 

Co-parenting during the holidays can be particularly tricky with shifting schedules and commitments to extended family. Before the holiday hustle begins, it’s essential to:

  • Review your child custody agreement carefully.

  • Initiate necessary conversations early and in writing.

  • Keep records of all communications.

  • Avoid making unilateral changes to schedules.

If unclear situations arise, consulting an experienced family law attorney in Miami, Tampa, or Orlando can ensure decisions protect the child’s best interests. Sasieta Law provides compassionate guidance to help parents avoid conflicts and maintain peace during the holidays.


Property Disputes

 

Family gatherings can reopen unresolved issues involving shared family assets such as inherited property, real estate, or vacation homes. With emotions running high, disagreements can escalate quickly.

 

To prevent disputes:

  • Avoid assumptions or verbal agreements.

  • Rely on clear, written documentation.

  • Seek legal guidance before reacting in the moment.

Our attorneys at Sasieta Law regularly assist Florida families with property and inheritance disputes, ensuring that conflicts are handled fairly and legally.


Neighbor Conflicts

 

The holiday season often means large gatherings, which can create friction with neighbors over parking, noise, or guest-related issues.

Start with a courteous conversation to resolve concerns. If problems persist:

  • Keep documentation of incidents.

  • Consider mediation or a legal letter to de-escalate tensions.

The Sasieta Law team can help residents of Miami, Tampa, and Orlando navigate disputes and protect their rights while preserving community relationships.
