Children & Divorce
Presently the divorce rate is increasing at an astounding rate, and close to 50% of children are growing up in a single parent environment. Children need their parents in order for them to develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. If the bond between the parent and the child is broken, negative consequences can be a result and can be traumatic for a child.
Introduction: Get a general overview of what children in divorce experience and how the parental relationship plays such a significant role.
Custody, Visitation, and Child Support: Please visit your State/Province for information about the legal issues related to divorce and children.
Telling the Children You Are Getting Divorced: Telling the children that you are going to get divorced can be a very difficult obstacle to overcome, but it is something that must be done in order for the children to begin to accept this dramatic change in their lives.
The Children's Perspective on Divorce: Sometimes it can be beneficial to look at things through "the eyes of a child." This helps to give the parent some perspective on how the child views things.
The Different Age Stages as They Relate to Divorce: How your children adjust is directly related to how you as the parent are adjusting to the divorce.
Creating and Understanding Parenting Plans: It is important for a family to design a parenting plan to insure a focused family environment.
Guidelines for Parents & the Rights of Children: When looking at the sticky subject of divorce and how the children are affected, one should consider that the correlation between the parent's coping skills and the child's coping skills is very different.
The Effects of Divorce on Children: Regardless of the situation, children often worry about what is going on in their lives, and they often see divorce as something very traumatic.
Managing Your Single Life With Children: You are now divorced so now what do you do? You start over.
Child Care: Today, child care is most commonly used by single parents who work or go to school during the day.
Custody & Visitation Articles: These articles have been written and provided by Divorce Source Professionals. Some of them may be rather long, so remember you can always print them and read the off-line another time.
Child Behavior Checklist: This checklist allows you, as a divorcing or separating parent, the opportunity to evaluate how your child is managing through this difficult time.
