Divorcing Parents Should Formulate a Plan for Children

Posted By Stepniak & Park || 18-Aug-2012

For some, a divorce is the end of a road that has been filled with arguments and fights. Unfortunately for some, however, divorce can merely be a step towards a peace that will never be attained, due to custody issues and visitation rights.

According to Dr. Jill Schwartzberg, a psychologist with Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service, it is very common for stress related to parental rights to affect children. She says “I have a doctorate and 25 years of experience working with children and families as a family and couples therapist, but this is not therapy. It’s a mediation process to reduce conflict.”

One of the most important things that Dr. Schwartzberg stresses to parents, whether that are undergoing mediation or not, is for both parents to sit down and attempt to formulate a detailed plan as to how their children will be raised. If both parents can agree on issues, then there are much lower chances of any major arguments breaking out later.

It is not always possible to come to agreements on issues such as child-rearing, however. This is where mediation can help. Mediators can often help educate parents on child development, and get parents better engaged in their child’s wellbeing.

The plan that Dr. Schwartzberg recommends includes detailed information regarding where children will live and for how long, what their extracurricular and summer time will be spent doing, and potential medical or education choices that will need to be made, and also the finances.

Remember that just because 2 people are getting divorced does not mean that they can’t agree on issues, especially when they are as important as how to raise a child.
