10 Tips for Dealing with Divorce & Single Parenting
Coach Judy’s Practical Tips Sheet - Knowledge is Power
!
- Keep your wits in check: “Get the Facts Before
Reacting”
- Check out books at the library, search the internet, and
or view video’s on divorce that include information
on “best interest of the children.”
- Interview several attorneys whose specialty is divorce.
Choose one that looks to stay out of court, doesn't
attack the other side when speaking or in the legal papers.
- Have someone review the legal documents before signing.
The legal terminology may not always mean what you think,
especially when entering the court system.
- Meet with professionals from an accountant to a therapist
to find the best solutions for being fair and acting in
the “Best Interest of the Children.”
- Consider compromising rather than fighting and “Keep
the Money in Your Pocket.”
- Children are created by two people. They risk being abused
and used as pawns when parents are angry. Avoid using your
children to pass massages. When calling one another use
“I Messages.”
- Redirect anger into positive energy: Consider exercising,
meditation, working on a craft project, or become involved
in a organization that helps others.
- Join a support group: Look in newspapers, or for an on
line group.
- Remember the R & R’s of Parenting: Your Responsibilities
& the Rights of Children
