Divorce and How it Affects Children
June 21, 2009
As an attorney who has handled divorce matters, one thing I can tell you for sure is that the court believes a child is entitled to have a relationship with both parents and will do its utmost to protect those relationships; absent abuse or harm to the child.
There is no doubt about it, divorce will put a severe strain on all involved; especially the children. In an effort to mitigate the effect of divorce on children, parents are required to follow what is called the Children’s Bill of Rights.
The Children’s Bill of Rights serves as a guideline for behavior when the parents have children together and are separated, going through a divorce or actually divorced. The Children’s Bill of Rights is usually attached to your formal paperwork in a divorce action.
