Most married people don't take divorce lightly. Ending a marriage is a complicated, messy, depressing, and often scary process. What happens during this difficult time depends largely on how each party to the divorce prepares themselves. That preparation includes the legal aspect, of course, but also the emotional preparation.
When a couple decides to divorce, the wheels are put into motion for many things, including the day-to-day decisions about where to live and how to best take care of the children. When spouses can agree to act like grownups and come to just and fair decisions together, the jagged edges of divorce can be smoothed somewhat.
This blog series has approached a few legal issues involved in divorce and the support of the children. However, this is never meant to replace sound legal advice by an attorney. Each case is different and requires more examination than a short report can offer. In other words, consult your attorney for details regarding your own divorce.
Previous blog posts have also approached the touchy subjects of healing, especially with regard to children. Children of divorce are wounded, no matter how amiable the divorce was. There is really no such thing as a friendly divorce where kids are concerned. There will be a division of households and attention, and that will cause stress for children. Do not neglect good psychological care for you or your children. Not only do you want good legal guidance during a divorce, you want good psychological guidance, as well.
