10 Steps to Discuss Divorce with Your Children
Are you unsure how to tell your children about your divorce? Here’s a glimpse of the key steps we’ll be covering in our upcoming Family Law Now After Hours live event, “How to Tell Your Children You’re Getting Divorced”:
- Plan the conversation by coordinating with your spouse on when and how to tell the children.
- Choose a safe setting, such as a calm and familiar place, for the discussion.
- Be age-appropriate by using language and explanations suitable for your children’s ages.
- Present a united front to reassure your children together about your love for them.
- Explain the situation honestly, providing clear and simple reasons without placing blame.
- Acknowledge feelings by validating their emotions and answering questions honestly.
- Reassure stability, emphasizing that their routines and relationships with both parents will continue.
- Avoid overloading details by focusing on what directly impacts them rather than legal specifics.
- Provide support options, such as access to counsellors or trusted adults they can talk to.
- Maintain open communication with an ongoing dialogue about their concerns and needs.
Join us on February 4th at 5pm for this live session where we’ll break down these steps in detail, helping you navigate this challenging conversation with care and confidence.
