Is January 2nd Divorce Day?

In some parts of the world, today is known as Divorce Day and is credited as the date when more couples decide to make the split than any other. Some analysts point to the stress of the holidays as a “last straw” in many strained marriages. For others (and I can count myself among them), the end was clear before the holidays, but acting on it was delayed in order to preserve the holiday for family.

Whatever the reason for making the decision to divorce, now or any time of year, consider mediation as part of your process. It will save you thousands of dollars, increase your control of the decisions, reduce animosity, and, if you have minor children, help to establish your new co-parenting relationship.

Is It Time for a Co-Parenting Tune-Up?

A custody agreement or parenting plan are not meant to be cast in stone. Kids change. Parents change. Circumstances change. Your plan should change too.

Perhaps one parent has a new and serious relationship. Or maybe that relationship has evolved further and your ex and children are now part of a blended family. Maybe now that your kids are older, your old schedule and expense sharing no longer work. Or maybe you’re having trouble agreeing on parenting priorities, summer camp plans, or the college selection and application process.

Mediation is an excellent way to review these issues together and develop a new parenting plan that fits your current circumstances. What could be more important that getting your co-parenting relationship back on track? Contact us for more information about co-parenting tune-ups and custody modifications.

I think in the end we all benefited greatly, especially our son, who was probably the primary beneficiary of Ellen’s excellent work.

Announcing Creating Worlds Unimagined

A Local Community to Support Co-Parenting

Creating Worlds Unimagined is on a mission to create a powerful community for families that are divorced or divorcing while supporting their efforts to discover and create collaborative parenting relationships. Our families may be working through upset yet are inspired by the possibility that divorcing does not mean giving up on our shared hopes and dreams for our children and our families.

I’m thrilled to be the Event/Area Director for Creating Worlds Unimagined in Delaware County. We’ll be kicking-off the initiative with an information session and focus group experience on June 27. Participants will work with local service providers to identify needs of co-parents and their families and define the future of this co-parenting community.

The event is free and open to open to the public. Saturday, June 27, 9-11 am, at HeadRoom, 24 Veterans Square, Media, PA. Registration via Eventbrite is required. Questions? Call 610-312-1463.
