There are many messages that kids get throughout the life. Perhaps the most frequent are the imperatives to get along with one another, to share their toys, to not hit or use bad language, and to be fair. From this perspective, it can be extremely difficult for children to understand how parents argue and split up. In the event of a divorce, children wish first for parents to reconcile and...
One of the biggest fears divorcing parents have is about how their children will be affected, and how their relationship with the kids will change. In fact, many people put off getting divorced even when things are at their worst because they fear the conflict that may arise about the custody and care of the children. There is good news: In most cases, these fears are unfounded.
Yes, many...
Parental Separation and filing for a divorce is an ugly thing to go through, for everyone involved, especially the kids. Unfortunately many parents who find that divorce is the only answer to their problems tend to lose their tight connection with their children. When lawyers are involved and a case is being built, many parents find that putting up a defense to be the most important part of...
It goes without saying that divorce will split a family, but less thought is typically given to what will happen down the road to the issue of both halves. In the event that both parties (as well as the attorneys for both parties) agree to a conclusion, dividing up assets and child custody, there is little reason to think that the issue will be re-examined in the future; that until a child...
Parents undergoing separation can easily drag others into their problems. Not only are the children often drawn into the situation, but professionals are brought into the circle too. Parents are looking for support in their claims for custody and think that letters and verbal support from professionals in the life of the child can increase their chances of having their way.
What are some of...
Kids of separated parents are often put into turmoil over the holidays as the parents lobby with one another to determine where the kids are going to spend their special day. Gone are the concerns of last minute gift shopping and events — parents are concerned about where, when and how the kids are going to spend their holidays.
Parents find themselves feeling guilty about the separation...
Conflict between parents who are separated is inevitable. Take the issues already at hand, add in litigious lawyers who make their side believe they can win, and you have quite the recipe for conflict and problems to develop. Lawyers will tell each parent to document any questionable and poor behavior on their other parent’s part, as well as good behavior on their own part. Parents end...
The effects of divorce and separation can be far-reaching. Not only do these situations have an impact on the couple involved, but they also have a significant impact on the children of the couple. Studies show that adults whose parents separated or divorced have a greater chance of enduring the same fate. In addition to this, research has found that if there is high parental conflict during...
Collaborative family law (CFL) is a process whereby a divorcing couple signs an agreement with a lawyer not go to court. The agreement is however binding to the divorce attorney and not the couple. If one or both clients are not satisfied with the agreement, they can still proceed to court but with a different lawyer. The whole process is aimed at seeking a mutual understanding between the...
