Information
We Are Here for Your Children Children need their relationship with both parents. There is a bonding that cannot be replaced by another family member or step-parent. In the area of custody or visitation, do not bargain with your spouse on any basis other than what will give your children the most stability and the best contact with parents. Studies shoe that harm to children is more closely related to conflict after the divorce or separation. Everyone has conflict before and during the divorce, but if you want to help your children, get finished with the conflict and resolve it, as quickly as possible. The worst thing for a child divorce or separation is feeling responsible for the break up and/or feeling that loving one parent is a betrayal to the other. These feelings can cause serious stress and insecurity to the child. To protect your children from this unbearable pain, do not say anything bad about the other parent, and encourage the positive parenting time that takes place between the parent and the child. Let your child know that you are happy when they have a good, loving time with the other parent. Most importantly, ALWAYS remind the child that it is not his/her fault that his/her parents are not together. Printed from: "Practical Divorce Solutions" by Ed Sherman.

The parents can have no contact because of the danger to teh victim or domestic violence. The non-residential parent has had a difficult time getting the custodial parent to cooperate with scheduling the visitations. The courts and residential parent suspect the visiting parent may leave the state with the child(ren). The visting parent is being reunified or has never met their child(ren).
