The Impact of Divorce on Family

Maintaining the integrity of each member of the family during this emotionally chaotic process challenges many couples. The end of a marriage does not mean the end of a family—it continues on in a different form after a divorce. The acrimony typical of many divorces arises when the spouses discuss how that new family structure will operate. To successfully navigate this process, couples need objective and knowledgeable guidance to create strategies which are not based on emotion and confusion.

Whether the decision was made by you or your spouse, or you both mutually decided to divorce, there is a lot involved in the process. While lawyers help their clients deal with the legal aspects of divorce, they are unprepared to address the emotional aspects of divorce, such as grieving, co-parenting, and rebuilding one’s life.
