How can we handle transportation logistics if one parent lives significantly farther away from the child’s school or extracurricular activities?

In such cases, parents might agree that the parent living closer to the activity handles more frequent trips, while the farther parent takes on longer visits, such as weekends or holidays. They can also consider involving a trusted third party to assist with transportation or meet halfway for exchanges to minimize travel burdens on both parents and the child. If one parent is covering substantially more of the driving, it may make sense to address the cost of additional gas if appropriate to your situation.
