Dispelling the Happy Home Myth
“Staying together for the kids” is the most common reason I hear for opting to stay in a bad relationship. What many couples don’t know is that an environment filled with constant arguments, anger, and unhappiness brings more damage to the child than dealing with a broken home. Your marriage is the example your children will have when it’s their time to start their own happy, healthy relationships when they come of age. This thought is often times overlooked by many parents when they choose if divorce is indeed the right step for them and their family.
After finally freeing themselves of the burden of having to put on a show, many parents find that they are able to communicate with their children on a deeper level because most children actually feel calmed knowing that the air has finally cleared up. The anger expressed by unhappy parents is sometimes interpreted by children as anger directed to them, that is why open communication, frequent reassurance, and thorough explanation of the situation will help in creating a long term healthy relationship with your child despite going through a divorce.
Determining Child Custody
The best interest of the child is the determining factor in child custody.
This commonly includes working with a Guardian Ad Litem or GAL in order to assist in determining whether joint or sole custody is best, and what the ideal custody agreement would look like. This can include mental health evaluators to see the capacity for care by the individual parents. The court will then choose during a custody trial if sole custody or joint custody is the perfect fit for the child or children in question.
