Consider These Details Before Discussing Divorce with a Child

If you are faced with divorce, this is one of the most difficult things you will ever go through. And while you have to worry about yourself, you also need to think about how it will impact your child or children.

At some point, you need to discuss the divorce process with your child. This may sound simple on the surface, but it can be extremely difficult once the time finally comes.

Here are several things you can do to make the situation easier on yourself:

— Write down what you want to say. This is one of the best things you can do, as it ensures that you stay on topic and don’t leave out any of the most important details.

— Schedule your talk. If you are the type who continually puts things off, you need to schedule time to speak with your child about the divorce.

— Be ready to answer questions. While you may have a good grip on the process, your child may not feel the same way. This is particularly true among younger children. It’s essential that you are ready to answer any and every question.

Along with the above, there is one last thing to remember: you are never truly done discussing the divorce. Just because you have a single conversation does not mean you won’t have to discuss this again in the future.

Your child needs special attention during the divorce process. Make sure you and your former partner are familiar with the best steps you can take during this difficult time.

David and Dani were very helpful and made my case as stress free as possible.
Great Team. Efficient and smooth process. Excellent communication. Thank you David Hunt.
I’m so grateful for attorney Nicholas Schwarz and paralegal Carren Leavitt at Brown Family Law. From day one, they were ready to work with me immediately, making my case feel like a top priority. Their organization is exceptional, every detail was handled with care and efficiency. Most importantly, their commitment to communication stood out. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered questions promptly, and made sure I fully understood my options.

If you want a legal team that is proactive, organized, and truly dedicated to their clients, I highly recommend Nicholas and Carren at Brown Family Law.

Loved working with Daniel and the whole team. Great service.
Marco and his team at Brown Family Law have created nearly the perfect system for getting divorced in Utah. From the initial intake, to gathering all of the necessary documentation, to the client communication in between. There is so much work that goes into getting divorced, but with Marco and his team you'll always know where you are in the process and what happens next, which is such a comfort. Would highly recommend.
I would give them 10 stars if I could. Clay was professional and super organized. He took the time to explain everything. I would highly recommend him for any family law needed. Melanie was a godsend. She not only kept me continually informed of the progress, she sent texts of encouragement and support throughout the entire process. I would give her 100 stars for going above and beyond to make this experience less stressful. Her encouragement and genuine caring were comforting and calming. The entire staff at Brown Law are on your side and if you are lucky enough to get Clay and Melanie on your team you will not be disappointed. Thanks! Mack M.
Response from the owner:Wow, thank you so much. Melanie is great. Glad she helped you so well.
