Considerations of Children
Divorces involving families with children are almost always
more difficult and more emotional than those without. The fact is that a divorce not only impacts the lives of the spouses, it
changes the world for their children. We
understand the impact a divorce can have on the entire family and will
represent you with that fact as a guiding principle.
As you go through the divorce and are considering issues
such as custody and visitation, remember the impact that even those words can
have on a young child. Custody and
visitation are harsh words also used in our criminal system. One thing you can do to try and make a
difficult time easier for children is to choose your words carefully. Consider using softer terms such as
“parenting plan” instead of custody or visitation. Also be cautious how you refer to your spouse
around the rest of the family. Even if
you are angry, your spouse is still your children’s mother or father so try and
be conscious of the impact of your words.
