New Escort Service Means Separated Parents Never Have to Meet

kidscoach.cz launches a strictly neutral Handover & Escort service for separated families - so children stop absorbing conflict they didn't create.

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Across the European Union, around 700,000 divorces take place every year. In the majority of cases involving children, custody is shared — meaning children move between two households on a schedule that is often far more complicated than the document that created it.

Family researchers consistently identify the custody exchange as the most common flashpoint for conflict in separated co-parenting. It happens on a predictable, recurring schedule. When the structure requires two parents who cannot be in the same space to meet, hand over a child, and part — often multiple times a week — the tension passes to the one person who had no say in any of it: the child.

"The children I work with in separated families often tell me the same thing," says Lucie Straková, child and teen coach at kidscoach.cz. "They say the handover is the worst part of the week. Not because something dramatic happens. Most of the time, nothing dramatic happens. But they feel the atmosphere. They feel the effort both parents are making to behave. They take that feeling into the car, and then into school, and then to bed. They are carrying something that was never theirs to carry."

kidscoach.cz is now offering a Handover & Escort service for separated families in Prague, the Czech Republic and EU.

The service is straightforward: Straková collects the child from one parent's home and delivers them safely to the other. The two parents never need to coordinate a meeting point. They are never required to be in the same space.

The service is strictly neutral throughout. No messages are relayed between households. No opinions are shared. There is no involvement in the custody arrangement itself. Both parents agree to the arrangement in advance. The child travels with a trusted, known adult - not a stranger, not a legal representative, not someone connected to either side of the family situation.

"Both parents in these families love their child. That is not in question," says Straková. "What is in question is whether the logistics of shared care have to be felt by the child every single time the schedule turns. They don't. That is the entire point."

The service is available for families where conflict, legal orders, practical distance, or the emotional cost of repeated contact makes neutral third-party involvement the better choice. Initial arrangements are made confidentially, with agreement from both parties before the service begins.

Families interested in the Handover & Escort service are invited to make a confidential initial enquiry at kidscoach.cz.
