Divorce is always painful for children, no matter how old they are.
Divorce does not end the relationship between your spouse, it just changes the rules of the relationship.
You are not the only parent going through a divorce.
You do not have to hate your spouse to get divorced.
The divorce takes place psychologically for children on the day of the separation.
Two people living apart cannot live as cheaply as two people living together.
Two people living apart cannot see their children as often as two people living together.
Courts do not want to place children with a parent who is systematically trying to destroy the other parent.
Never ask a child to decide who he or she wants to live with.
Unhappy parents cannot raise happy children.
Child support payments are intended to support your children.
It is hard when children cannot spend time with someone they love.
A parent should not become a “friend” for their child(ren) and a child should not become a parent or a “friend” to their parent(s).
The more consistency parents provide in their children’s lives, the healthier the children’s adjustment will be.
The more flexibility a parent has regarding placement and visitation arrangements, the more comfortable children are likely to be.
Divorce is a process, not an event.
