What Do Children Want and Need When Their Parents’ Divorce?

February 16, 2022 By Mary Jones

Children and divorce

Children need to see their parents being supportive of each other, especially during a divorce. They need to see their parents having a united front - that they are still able to communicate with each other and make decisions for them that are in their best interest. Ultimately, children need to see that they are still both their parents even though they are getting a divorce. The Children's Bill of Rights was created many years ago. It is a Bill of Rights that helps parents remember that … [Read more...]

January 7, 2022 By Katie Zuverink

Parenting Time

It can be helpful to have a starting place when beginning your “parenting plan writing” process. Gone are the days of assuming that one parent gets every other weekend and Wednesdays. Thankfully, the family law industry is moving in a much more equitable (and healthy) direction. Here are some common parenting plan schedules that we see in Collaborative Divorce and parenting planning in general. **All of the plans shown below reflect a 50/50 parenting plan arrangement. More than 95% of … [Read more...]

How Do We Tell Our Kids?

November 1, 2021 By Katie Zuverink

How to tell your kids

One of the most common concerns parents have as they approach divorce and separation is this: “What should we tell the kids, and how should we tell them?”  Telling your children that you are separating or getting divorced can cause enormous feelings of guilt and sadness in parents. Parents are also understandably concerned that their kids will feel pain, anger or confusion, and parents often want to shield their children from these feelings. I can certainly understand that. Seeing … [Read more...]

What is Co-Parenting and Why Do You Have to Do It?

September 21, 2021 By Julia Bancroft

Co-Parenting

Having and raising children is a challenge.  Having to co-parent children during separation or divorce can feel impossible.  Children see and hear the sadness and anger taking place around them.  Parents don’t always think about what is in the best interests of the children, because they are so hurt or upset by their own pain.  Teaching parents to focus on what is truly best for the children is why most courts mandate parenting classes, in order to encourage more effective co-parenting.  So, … [Read more...]

Divorce: Dividing the House and Other Assets

August 26, 2021 By Frank Vendt

dividing the house and assets

Psychiatrists and psychologists rank divorce as the second most stressful life event behind the death of a spouse. In a divorce, one of the most frustrating parts of the process involves the division of the family’s assets. Both spouses are concerned about how they will stretch the finances that have supported one household to now support two. One of the biggest pieces of the financial puzzle is “Who gets the house in a divorce?” In traditional divorce litigation, the focus is often on, … [Read more...]

The Three Most Important Decisions Before You File For Divorce

August 20, 2021 By Jack Emmott

Important Decisions

            As a Collaborative Divorce Attorney, I have witnessed the sheer agony experienced by those I have served in making the decision to divorce.  I have learned just how important it is to finally and fully decide it is the right time to uncouple in the right way. The first and most important decision is not a legal one at all.  Whether you are the spouse who is the one leaving or the one left behind, it is essential to attain complete … [Read more...]

Child Custody Disputes – The Saddest Battle

June 30, 2021 By Norma Trusch

Children and divorce

One of my favorite assignments as a board-certified family lawyer was being chosen by a family court judge to represent a child whose parents were divorcing.  The reason the courts appoint attorneys for children whose parents cannot agree on post-divorce care and custodial arrangements, is to protect the children from the worst aspects of their parents’ dispute and to give them a voice in the process.  It was a gratifying job, but a frustrating one.         … [Read more...]

For Divorce with Special Needs Children – Collaborative Divorce is the Better Option

April 13, 2021 By Camille Milner

April is “Autism Acceptance Month.” Prior to 2021, this acknowledgement was called “Autism Awareness Month,” but as we have begun to learn more about autism and what it means to be “on the spectrum” of autism, we have learned that being on that spectrum is like a rainbow–there are many variations of abilities and inabilities, challenges and yet special gifts that people on the spectrum bring to our world and the families in which they live. One Texas Rehabilitation … [Read more...]

The Financial Challenges of Divorcing in Difficult Economic Times

March 1, 2021 By David Brunson

Financial issues

The process and outcomes of divorce are always multifaceted and difficult, even in the best of economic times.  When a couple divorces, they are divorcing emotionally, socially, legally and of course, financially.  Depending on the timing of one’s divorce, these areas of divorce can produce problems that are particularly challenging relative to other times one might divorce. When a couple chooses to collaborate in the context of a Collaborative Divorce, they are choosing a process … [Read more...]
