I’m worried about access to my children, but my wife is upset, protective and wants sole custody. How can Collaborative Law help?
Many divorcing couples experience the emotional tug of losing regular connection and communication with their children. They know how important it is to maintain a level of familiarity, comfort, security and love, even if they are not living together. Feelings are raw during the first few weeks and months of separation. Collaborative lawyers encourage couples to work together for the sake of their kids, despite anger, fear, resentment and worry they may have about their own reaction to the situation. Kids don’t understand why things are happening and they don’t care who is to blame. They just know things are changing and it’s bad. Collaborative Law can work by sitting down with the couple and their children to find out what they each want, even if there are little ones who don’t have much of a voice. Family experts can be retained to help establish a common ground and help parents and children see the bigger picture, beyond their emotional turmoil they’re currently experiencing.
