    Becoming a Single Parent? How to Help your Children through the Divorce Process

    Becoming a Single Parent How to Help your Children through the Divorce Process

    Divorce can be one of the most difficult times of your life as an adult, and it can also be a challenging process for children to go through. During a divorce, children's lives may be physically altered through changes in their home location. Their lives may be emotionally impacted as their family life is adjusted and their time with parents is divided. They may have to make financial adjustments that impact the lifestyle that they have grown accustomed to. These are only a few of the many changes that can make divorce difficult for children. As a parent, you can help your children walk through the divorce process by following a few tips.

    Work With a Lawyer to Finalize Divorce Terms
    The terms of a divorce will impact everything from custody and visitation with both parents and where the children will live to the financial situation that the children will be required to live with. As a parent, you can work with a lawyer at like those at Hofheimer Family Law to establish divorce terms that are most equitable to the children. Many parents will work together to make this process as easy as possible, and an attorney may be able to recommend some divorce terms that will ease this process for the children.

    Seek Therapy if Needed
    Divorce is by all accounts a stressful event, and therapy or counseling sessions can be beneficial. It may be wise to seek therapy for the children individually or for the family as a whole. Issues, complaints, grievances and concerns can openly be discussed in a caring, supportive environment. This can help children to feel a sense of hope and can help the family work toward re-establishing normalcy.

    Establish New Traditions
    It can also be beneficial to establish new traditions with the new core family. If custody is evenly split, both parents can establish their own traditions with the children or can work toward maintaining traditions that the family has followed up to this point. If both parents can get along amicably, including both parents for holidays, birthdays, sporting events for the kids and more can also be beneficial.

    Divorce is seldom easy for anyone involved, and it can be most challenging for children whose families and routines are torn apart by divorce. If you are going through a divorce and have children involved in the process, you may consider following some of these tips so that your children can adjust to this new stage in their lives more easily.
