The best way to protect your children during a divorce is to stop fighting and don’t put them in the middle of your disputes.  Don’t use the children to hurt each other–make your divorce about protecting them.  A high-conflict divorce is harmful to children’s social, personal, and intellectual development–so avoid fighting.  A child-centered collaborative divorce can minimize damage to children.  Rather that litigate your divorce and postpone healing until after the trial, … [Read more...]

December 3, 2019 By Harry Munsinger, J.D., Ph.D.

September 20, 2019 By Harry Munsinger, J.D., Ph.D. Leave a Comment

Dividing community property is an important divorce issue, especially if the divorce has been planned for a long time because that gives one spouse time to conceal funds.  How can you be certain your spouse has disclosed all marital assets during a divorce?  The answer depends on how you divorce.  In a litigated divorce, there is no duty to disclose, while in a collaborative divorce spouses agree to voluntarily produce all relevant information.  A complex divorce generates … [Read more...]
