Decision Making

     Divorce is a life changing event even in the best of circumstances.  Perhaps you have done your due diligence, considered all your options, and decided that divorce is the best way to move forward.  Maybe your spouse has made that decision and you are just being hit with it.  Either way you are likely to have some trepidation about what your post-divorce life will look like.  Although you have accepted the fact that your life will change, you still do not … [Read more...]

July 30, 2020 By Annette Henry

Father playing with kids

When parents decide that it’s time to separate and divorce, they also have to decide how they will continue to co-parent their children.  In optimal situations, parents are able to work together to come up with a parenting plan that is best suited for their children considering the specifics of the family.  That is the approach taken in a collaborative divorce and the results can be quite satisfying for everyone involved. On the other hand, if the parties choose to litigate their … [Read more...]

Tips for How to Tell the Kids You Are Getting a Divorce

July 27, 2020 By Laura Evans

Mom and Child Talking

Here are a few important suggestions for how to tell the kids that you and your spouse are getting a divorce. The first important piece is that you want to tell your kids at a time where they do not have anything important coming up that day. If they are in … [Read more...]

July 21, 2020 By Dawn Budner

Man and woman sitting on pier

You may already be the perfect spouse. You exude empathy and love and role model all the best practices for growing a marriage that will last a lifetime. For you, it’s simple. You just happen to possess the very qualities that draw others to you and inspire them to evolve toward their highest potential. For me, on the other hand, it was on-the-job training that felt like a roller coaster ride. Amidst the excitement of new beginnings came increasing chasms in communication and understanding. … [Read more...]

Collaborative Divorce—Choosing The Best Divorce Process To Meet Your Child’s Special Needs

June 24, 2020 By Jack Emmott

Special Needs divorce

Divorce is often a daunting experience for a couple with normal healthy children.  But, divorce can be even more overwhelming when the spouses have a child with special needs. In over 35 years of divorce and child custody law practice I have witnessed that most parents, including those with disabled children, overwhelmingly ask to have their child’s or children’s interests be put first.  They ask me, “How can we best do that?” Parents, like you, do not have a choice in whether … [Read more...]

Collaborative Pandemic Co-Parenting: Putting Your Child First

June 15, 2020 By Lisa Rothfus, LCSW

I don’t think any couple going through a Collaborative Divorce ever imagined they would have to come up with co-parenting guidelines for a Pandemic. And although you may not have completed your divorce just yet, you still need to cooperatively co-parent. While a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic definitely adds to the stress of co-parenting, it also highlights why you chose Collaborative Divorce, over other options, in the first place. Collaborative Divorce and COVID-19 co- parenting … [Read more...]

Keep Calm and Parent On: Because Anxiety Is Contagious

June 1, 2020 By Robin Watts, LPC

Anxiety is Contagious

     Anxiety is a common, treatable problem among children and teens.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of every three children will meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder by the age of 18.  Although anxious feelings can occur at any age, children will often develop short-term symptoms of anxiety when confronted with a challenging event, such as the recent outbreak of the coronavirus disease or even more recently, during the rioting … [Read more...]
