- Divorce and the Media
If you have children ages eight and up, they probably
see a lot about divorce on TV. And frankly most of it
is not good. TV shows, movies, and news reports frequently
focus on the dark side of divorce - after all there isn’t
much of a story when two people part in a reasonable way
and make adult decisions together about their family and
their assets.

- Mediation Solves Custody Disputes
If you are going through a divorce or are having a custody
or visitation dispute, mediation is an option you should
consider. When you go to court, a judge who doesn’t
know you or your children makes decisions about how you’re
all going to share your time. The outcomes are usually pretty
scripted without a lot of creativity. Mediation puts the
power back into the hands of the parents.

- Bashing Your Ex is Bad News for Your Children
We all do it from time to time. Make a sarcastic comment
about our ex, criticize something they did or didn’t
do, gesture or grimace our faces when referring to our
former spouse. When we do it in front of, near or within
hearing distance of our children, we set ourselves up
for a hornet’s nest of problems. We have all heard
this, but it’s easy to forget or let slide. It hurts
our children when they hear one of their parents put down
the other. This is so even if your child does not say
anything about it. With rare exceptions, children innately
feel they are part of both parents. They love them both
even when that love isn’t returned to them in the
same way.

- Children
and Divorce: Avoiding the Mistakes of Others
Over the years there have been endless studies on the
effects of divorce on parents and children. Some of the
results are controversial. Others seem to be universally
accepted as relevant and real. Here are a few of my perceptions
from studies on children who experience divorce that I
believe all of us, as parents, should take to heart. |
