Emotional Trauma
Leading up to a divorce, children can sometimes find themselves in the middle of contentious high-stress environments. They may witness emotional or physical abuse, causing trauma that can heavily impact their development. In such cases, changing a child’s environment & removing them from this situation is vital. A trusted attorney can aid in a separation and any necessary protective orders to keep children safe.
Separation Decreases Stress
Hiring an attorney in Tulsa to begin the process of dividing finances, possessions, and to work on agreements regarding the children can decrease stress exponentially. An attorney can help negotiate with a separated partner’s counsel until a mutual agreement can be reached in the children’s best interest.
More Peaceful Living Arrangements
For many, living in the same household in Tulsa while separated causes additional stress and separating into two households during the divorce can help with civility, which can set an excellent example for children on responding to high-stress situations in the future. It is important to have an attorney who can guide you through this difficult situation.
Focus on Your Children
Parents focused on problems in a marriage can sometimes be unaware of how conflict impacts their children. Following a divorce, parents can adjust their attention to and rebuild a bond with their children. Moving through the process with open communication & compassion can help both parents & the children exponentially.
Expands Horizons
