The advice that I find myself giving most frequently to clients who have children and are involved in either a divorce where there’s a dispute over custody, or whether, you know, even if they were never married but they are not in agreement over, you know, custody. And parenting is not to disparage the other parent to the children, and not to try to persuade that child to be allied with you. I often tell my clients, I mean I was very young when my parents were divorced, and I didn’t know why they got divorced until I was an adult. That’s sort of an ideal, and that’s not possible for everybody, but you really have to put your kids first, you know? You think you’re hurting the other person by saying, you know, either disparaging things about their other parent, or telling them details about the divorce. And you may be hurting the other person, but who you’re really hurting is your child, and that’s something that I frequently caution my clients against doing.
