A Child’s Place is Being a Child

by Leave a Comment

To the children, the emotional huddles, the atypical outbursts and the squabbling over simple scheduling matters spell out something is amiss and very wrong. Did they do something wrong to get both parents so upset?

If kids can’t keep secrets from their parents, why do parents keep such a big secret from the children? The kids know.

If the parents are planning their transition following their separation or divorce, when do the older children participate in the plans about them?

Designing A Parenting Plan

by Leave a Comment

Whether the children are newborns or young adults, they have a legal right to be cared for, nurtured, disciplined, and guided through life’s joys and difficulties. Parents and caregivers are obliged to act in each child’s best interests.

Whether parents or partners interested in acting as a parent to a child in a new or blended family, or for those separating, crafting a balanced, viable parenting plan is a necessity. When parents are supportive of each other’s efforts and contributions, trust develops. Knowing that they can rely on each other sends a positive message to the children. As the children grow and develop, being flexible to tweak a weekend routine or discuss new modifications to the plan will be easier.

The First Joint Collaborative Meeting

by Leave a Comment

It’s a nerve wracking experience to walk into a lawyer’s office to begin the journey of sharing your intimate marital or common law history. There was no Separation 101 course available in high school and seriously, the thought of ever going through this had not crossed your mind.

After a good discussion of the different ways to proceed, you’ve chosen to handle your private family law issues using the collaborative process. Your trained family law lawyer has been retained and you’ve thoughtfully prepared the list of goals you want to achieve in the process.

The first collaborative meeting will be with you, your lawyer, your spouse and their lawyer. You will have a quick confidential briefing with your lawyer to go over any urgent issues, answer any last minute questions. The location and duration of the meeting is confirmed.

Customizing a Private Approach or Going Public

by Leave a Comment

One of my best friends, Jim, is facing what he sees a tough road ahead. It’s not that he and his wife are separating; it’s the unwelcome help he’s receiving from his gym mates. One soccer buddy boasts that Jim must lead the troops and show the rest of the guys what we’re made of. Another was convinced that he got the short end of the stick when he divorced having to pay child support for his two toddlers who lived with their mother. The team coach offers his support by rubbing his hands together proclaiming the battle’s just begun!

These words encouraging a contest of wills are unsettling to Jim because they’re talking about his family. He just wants some privacy to figure out what he’s entitled to and pay what the law says he needs to pay. He also sees a future with the kids at all stages of their lives.
