Entrusting us with the legal issues of your divorce will allow you to focus on what is truly important, the well-being of your children. It is imperative that you work to help make this time of transition as seamless as possible. Here are a few tips to help you in the process:
- The child comes first. Whether you are going through a messy divorce or a seemingly simple one, it is important to remember that your child's well-being is your first priority. Therefore, the decisions made, such as custody, should be what is best for the child.
- Keep your drama private. You may not be the biggest fan of your soon to be ex-husband or wife, but it is best to hide those feelings from your children. They do not need to see animosity. Rather, you should reassure them that nothing will change from a parenting perspective. Their father will always be their dad and their mother will always be their mom. It will be comforting for them to know that they will still be co-parented.
- Invest in a therapist. Providing your child with an objective party to talk or vent to could make a world of a difference in the divorce process. Seeing a therapist gives the child a free space where he or she can speak without a filter and vocalize all the things they might be feeling.
- Make yourself happy. Take care of yourself. Once your child sees that you're happy, it will reassure them that the best decision was made. Divorce does not have to be a bad thing.
- Communication is key. Let your child know that the divorce is your decision and not at all their fault. You may need to reiterate this point many times, depending on their age. Reinforce the idea that both parents love them and that they are not to blame.
