Children And Divorce
You cannot completely protect your kids in a divorce, but you can make the best possible effort, such as limiting your child’s exposure to arguments with your spouse. While you cannot eliminate the emotional turmoil felt by your children in a divorce, you can make a conscious decision to get divorced or separate fairly and amicably.
In other words, you can pick and choose your battles.

You have probably heard that family law cases focus on what is in the “best interest” of the children. This means that any issue involving kids is determined on a case-by-case basis under a number of factors.
Some factors include:
- The strength of the relationship a child has with their parents, siblings, and grandparents
- The ability of the caregiver (the would-be custodial parent, grandparent, or other family members) to provide for the child’s health and welfare.
When it comes to children and divorce, a judge may determine that the safety and well-being of the child are best served by going to live with one parent over the other parent. This is why it is important to ensure good legal representation.
