Divorce is a stressful process for everyone involved, and while it’s focused on the separation of two adults, many times the children are left to deal with the unintended side effects. It’s imperative as a parent who is going through a divorce that you keep these tips in mind to help ease your child’s transition into a new way of life.
For those who have never experienced divorce, it’s commonly thought that marital property is automatically divided in half between divorcing spouses. While assets are sometimes divided equally by happenstance, they are most often divided equitably in the eyes of a New York divorce court.
A nearly universal assumption in our society is that when a couple divorces, they are required to go to court. After all, this has traditionally been the case. Now couples who are contemplating divorce have different options about how to proceed. One of the most popular—and effective—is mediation.
When getting a divorce, or any time a child is born to an unwed couple, creating a parenting plan is a very important process. The parenting plan will be approved by the courts, and legally enforceable until it is modified (if necessary). When done properly, a parenting plan can help provide stability and routine for the child, and help minimize any fighting between the parents.
