What You’ll Learn:
Approaching a New Relationship with Sensitivity and Confidence
Starting to date again after separation or divorce is a big step—and sharing that news with your ex and children can feel daunting. In our upcoming Family Law Now After Hours live event, “Dating Again: How to Tell Your Ex and Kids,” we’ll walk through how to approach these conversations with care, clarity, and emotional intelligence.
- Making Sure You’re Emotionally Ready:
Before jumping into something new, make sure you’ve taken the time to heal and reflect. - Considering How the News Will Affect Others:
Being thoughtful in your approach helps reduce hurt feelings and confusion. - Keeping Your Ex Informed, Not Seeking Approval:
It’s about communication, not permission—especially when kids are involved. - Timing the Conversation with Kids Carefully:
Don’t rush. Give them time to adjust to the idea before any big changes happen. - Reassuring Your Kids About Their Place in Your Life:
Let them know they’re still your top priority, no matter what. - Delaying Introductions Until the Relationship Is Serious:
Protect your child’s emotional wellbeing by avoiding a revolving door of partners. - Being Honest Without Oversharing:
Tailor the conversation to your child’s age and maturity level—keep it simple and reassuring. - Respecting Everyone’s Emotional Responses:
Reactions may vary—be patient and give your family space to process. - Avoiding Comparisons Between New Partners and Exes:
Focus on your future, not rehashing the past. - Using Therapy If Reactions Are Intense:
A counselor can help guide your family through emotional transitions and difficult conversations.
