Phoenix Divorce Lawyer Offers Tips for Parents

Divorce in Phoenix is rough on both the parents and the kids. As a Phoenix divorce lawyer, I have seen a lot of clients come to me exhausted, frustrated with co-parenting, and unsure what to do next. Although sometimes it seems impossible, it really is possible to get through this part and still have a great parental relationship. There are steps you can take to make it a little easier on everyone involved.

Although you can’t completely shelter your kids from all of the stress and changes that divorce brings, let’s talk about some easy steps you can take to minimize the effect on them. During and after the divorce, make sure that you are:

• Taking care of yourself
• Being consistent with rules and promised contact
• Encouraging the kids to have contact with the other parent
• Being supportive and patient through major transitions
• Planning for financial changes that may affect your children
