Speaking With Kids About Divorce While Limiting Their Involvement

November 24, 2017 by Sheridan & Dulas, P.A.

It can be difficult to prepare for certain changes in life, such as the end of a marriage. Divorce can be a stressful and daunting experience for everyone involved, but perhaps more so for kids. Parents in Minnesota who are facing a similar situation may wish to safeguard the future well-being of their kids by reaching a child custody agreement with their needs at the forefront, but a parent may find it beneficial to take steps to address any issues they are currently experiencing as well.

While parents may have an understanding of the situation, kids might have more difficulty accepting the news of divorce. A parent may be hesitant to speak to the kids about the situation, but they may suffer more if left completely in the dark. Speaking with children on a level they can understand could help them avoid feelings of guilt concerning their parent’s unhappiness, and may even help them feel less hesitant about coming forward with any other issues they experience during this period.

Although kids may benefit from a general understanding of what is happening, limiting their involvement is also advisable. Subjecting children to arguments or using them to relay messages to the other parent can be harmful to them. Providing kids with reassurances of love while keeping them away from conflict may go a long way in safeguarding them against unnecessary suffering.

While addressing the current needs of the kids during divorce, a parent may also be tasked with looking to their future. When facing a similar situation, a parent in Minnesota could find it beneficial to speak with a family law attorney for assistance in covering every aspect of divorce, including child custody. An attorney can address a client’s concerns and wishes and assist in pursuing the best outcome possible with regards to the future well-being of his or her children.
