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

Autism Awareness Month

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...]

Informed Decision-Making & Control of the Future-Part 2

November 24, 2020 By Tasha Rock

Decision making and future plans

It’s time! Now what and how?  I didn’t anticipate what you might call brain fog around the division of my marital estate. I’d worked in personal finance since 1998 and knew my financial world as well as possible. The peace-of-mind I received from having guidance from a clear-headed, unemotional, mentally available, experienced team is the best gift I’ve probably ever given myself. Divorce is likely an event with which you do not have much or any hands-on experience. This process is one that … [Read more...]
