July 15, 2019 By Harry Munsinger, J.D., Ph.D. Leave a Comment

divorce with special-needs child

Getting a divorce is hard on any family, but it’s especially difficult when a special-needs child is involved, because the burden of care and planning for the child falls mostly on the custodial parent.  When a special-needs child is involved in a divorce, the issues of custody, visitation, child support, and division of community assets become more complex and require special attention.  Standard child support and custody guidelines don’t address the extra costs and unique … [Read more...]

Effect of Parental Conflict and Divorce on Children

July 8, 2019 By Harry Munsinger, J.D., Ph.D.

Parental conflict can have significant negative effects on children, whether the parents stay married or divorce. In either case, intense parental conflict is associated with mental health problems among their children, while divorce alone does not seem to have a significant negative effect on children’s development.  However, children who are young when their parents divorce have some difficulty forming intimate adult relationships, are often unhappy with their marriages, and have … [Read more...]

April 4, 2019 By Harry Munsinger, J.D., Ph.D. Leave a Comment

During a litigated divorce, judges must decide who will have the right to make non-emergency decisions about children’s living arrangement, where they will attend school, their medical care, and their religious training.  Courts may award sole custody to one parent or give both parents the joint right to make decisions about their children.  Having sole custody means one parent need not consult with the other parent when making decisions about the children.  On the other hand, … [Read more...]
