Common Pitfall Parents Face During Divorce
May 2, 2025 - 10:42
Legal expert Georgina McCluskey sheds light on a significant mistake frequently encountered in divorce cases involving children. According to McCluskey, many parents underestimate the emotional and psychological impact that divorce can have on their children. This oversight often leads to decisions that prioritize adult conflicts over the well-being of the kids.
One of the most common errors is failing to maintain open lines of communication with children throughout the divorce process. Parents may become so absorbed in their own struggles that they neglect to address their children's feelings and concerns. This can result in heightened anxiety and confusion for the kids, who may feel caught in the middle of their parents' disputes.
Additionally, McCluskey emphasizes the importance of presenting a united front when it comes to co-parenting. Disagreements should be resolved privately to avoid putting children in the position of choosing sides. By recognizing and addressing these issues, parents can help mitigate the adverse effects of divorce on their children and foster a healthier environment for their development.
