California Divorce Mediation

Make no mistake about it, Divorce is very traumatic for children because the family as they know it is over. Divorce often leads to anxiety, depression, anger, withdrawal and a number of other possible symptoms. The most important thing you can do us try to minimize the damage to your children. It means communicating truthfully with them and not being disrespectful to the other parent. It means never, ever using the children to manipulate or avenge your spouse. Such behavior may work in the short term but will boomerang in the long term in the form of anger and disrespect towards you.
