Thinking About the Children

TimbyHunt - Divorcing While Keeping The Children in Tact A couple I met with today in a divorce mediation session brought to light yet another benefit of Collaborative Divorce that comes up frequently...bad behavior of the children.

In this case, the couple was experiencing behavioral issues with their 20 something year old. Now I don't want to go into details here, but we
spent a session discussing a game plan for them to deal with their son's issues together as parents...despite the fact that they are seperated and divorcing.

In a traditional divorce, the parties are so polarized that these types of issues get overlooked at best or become the subject of a new battle that finds its way into all other divorce issues, increasing time spent by attorneys and thus legal fees.

I know this is going to work out for them and I am really excited.
