Yes, it's possible -- with the right kind of support.

If you and your spouse have decided to divorce, you know that no matter how much you want to proceed in a way that’s best for everyone, emotions are running high.  Everyone, especially the children, is suffering.  You know the marriage is over, and yet you worry that you face a long and destructive legal battle. 

 

There is a better way.  As attorneys who practice collaborative law often point out, you can make your divorce less painful if you approach it as a problem to be solved, not as a battle to be won.  Even though you are divorcing your spouse, you will always be parents to your children.  Now, hard as it may be, is a critical time to learn to cooperate.  You are laying the groundwork for the rest of your and your children's lives.
 
With the help of supportive therapists and attorneys committed to helping you learn to work as a team, you and your children can move toward the next step in your lives as constructively as possible.   It's up to you.  Don't make this harder on everyone than it needs to be. 

For fifteen years, Jean Fitzpatrick has been supporting individuals and couples in Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess through constructive divorces.  To set up an appointment for a free consultation, call Jean Fitzpatrick at 914-941-6478.   Or send an email to jean@treeoflifeprograms.com.
