Whenever a marriage ends in divorce, there's no doubt that there will be emotional trauma. But this trauma extends beyond the emotions of the adults in the situation; the children most certainly feel it too. That's why the family law attorneys at The Law Offices of Conti & Levy in Torrington, CT, suggest taking steps to help your children cope with the finality of a divorce.

Here are three things you can do to help your children make an easier transition from one stage of divorce to another:

  • Be Supportive: As a parent and as a spouse, there's no question that divorce will be hard on you. This is one situation where you'll need to put your pain aside and show your child the support he or she needs to cope. Make sure your child knows that both parents are available to meet his or her emotional needs. 
  • Address Changes: Nothing good ever comes of ignoring what struggles may be ahead. Make a point of addressing any changes that are on the horizon. This will keep your child abreast of the situation and help them feel more prepared when changes do come to pass.
  • Be Communicative: While it's important to protect your child from certain facts, it's also essential for you to communicate openly about what's going on. Regular communication leaves the door open to address any feelings or issues that are of concern. Be available to answer questions your child has about the situation.
