How do I handle a divorce with a child?
Handling divorce with a child is a complicated matter to navigate. There are several options. In the end, it all comes down to what is best for your child, which is why it's important to get professional help and guidance from a family law lawyer who can provide you with the proper legal advice for your specific situation.
There are a few really important things to keep in mind when going through this process. First, you should never talk badly about your soon-to-be ex around your child. The child doesn't need to know all the reasons why the marriage didn't work out or all the details of what went wrong between you and your ex. Keep the focus on positive interactions with your child and positive interactions with your ex so that the transition will be smoother for the child.
When you're talking about things with your ex, try to be respectful of each other. This will help set an example for your child and help him or her understand that it's okay to talk politely about issues with people you love but don't like anymore. Try not to blame each other for problems in front of your child and focus on discussing how things will change in a way that doesn't involve negativity towards anyone else (you can save that for talking about it later on when your child isn't around).
