How Can I Protect My Kids?

Guiding Your Children Through a Divorce

Divorce is challenging for every family member, especially children. If you are going through a divorce, you may be wondering what steps you can take to protect your children during the complex and lengthy divorce process. Our team of attorneys compiled a list of things you can do to help your children during this difficult time.

To protect your kids during a divorce, consider the following:

  • Be honest, but discreet. While you should take time to explain to your children, avoid giving them too much detail.
  • If possible, settle your divorce outside of court by going the uncontested route.
  • Avoid talking poorly about your spouse in front of your children.
  • Don’t try to get your children on “your side.”
  • Keep divorce issues separate from co-parenting issues.
  • Don’t put children in the middle of you and your former spouse. They’re not a messenger or a spy.
  • You should encourage your children's relationship with their other parent.
  • Make sure that you have life insurance to secure child support and alimony payments
