Supporting your children through major life events with your ex-spouse

Kids go through a lot when their parents get divorced. They can feel confused, mad, scared for the future, resentful, and so much more. Life is changed and they may not feel like they have the support they need. Their lives and events may appear to be less important to you, as you have to deal with the process of the divorce. Legal issues can take up a lot of time and cause stress, let us help you as your Divorce Attorney Provo. 

Your kids need attention during this time. Remind them that you love them and are always there if they need to talk about anything. This attention could include making a greater effort to make it to performances, games, and other important events. With summer coming there may be less events to go to, so everyone you can make it to matters. 

May is filled with graduations. There are kindergarten, sixth grade, middle school, junior high, high school, and college graduations. If your child is having a graduation this month you being there for it will mean the world to them. Be present in the moment and celebrate their amazing achievement with them. Take a bunch of pictures and enjoy spending time with your kid. Let them know how proud you are of them and all that they have accomplished so far. 

If you kids want both parents at their events try to make that happen. Your relationship with your ex-spouse may not be great, but making an effort to get along will make your kid happy and relieved that everything is going smoothly. The event and the celebration afterwards should be all about them, not about any of your issues from the divorce. Help your kids understand that you love them so much, and are always going to be there for them cheering them on.
