Even during the divorce, children need someone to care about the little things in their life–like a lost tooth.
Children are important. They need someone to care about them. They need someone to tell about the tooth they just lost. They need someone to create structure.
If you go into your divorce recognizing these facts, then you will make decisions which will help your children adapt more easily to the “new normal” they will be facing.
Even in the best case scenarios, divorce is hard on families. At the Lambert Law Office in Vancouver, WA our intent is to have children get through their parents’ divorce with as little ongoing trauma as possible.
