technology adapting to change

With the advent of technology our world has changed, some would say for the better, but has it?  Technology has afforded us conveniences which we have incorporated into our daily life.  We have become addicts, addicted to our technology and convenience.  We depend so much on technology that we have lessen the demand on ourselves. I remember a point in time when I memorized all my seven siblings phone numbers, addresses, and birthdates. Now, I enter everything in my phone without … [Read more...]

August 13, 2020 By Caroline Nelson

special needs child

Figuring out how to divide and share rights, responsibilities and time with the kids is hard for divorcing parents of all children – with and without disabilities -- because there are so many things to consider.  Parents eventually land on how they will handle schedules, residences, health care, and support, but going through the process can generate a lot of reflection on childhood – and parenthood – over issues that didn’t seem to exist, back when the couple thought they would … [Read more...]

Saying divorce can mess with your mind is a substantial understatement.   I know because I have been there. It is as if my brain was removed from my head and placed beside me for about a year. (It does come back!) The intelligent together woman I once was turned into an emotional, brain-fogged, unorganized basket case.   If you are in the middle of a divorce you may be able to relate.  So how do you navigate your financial future in the midst of a trauma induced … [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...]

Here are a few important suggestions for how to tell the kids that you and your spouse are getting a divorce.

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...]
