• Divorce is certainly one of the most dramatic
  events in the life of the family and every
  divorce law firms Toronto is aware of that. No
  matter how good or bad the marriage was, the
  reason still leaves a deep mark and spouses need
  a long recovering from the stress. Although it
  may seem to you that you are the saddestpersonin
  the world, there is someone who suffers about
  your divorce much more than you, and that is your
  child.

• Many psychologists believe that the children
  should not be the reason to stay married. Rather,
  bad marriage will have a much more negative
  effect than divorce, because the child will
  certainly notice that something strange is
  happening. It is required the child to be
  prepared for this new situation.

• The child always comes first
• When it comes to divorce, parents are often
  feeling guilty and trying to think of somestories
  to tell their children, in order to make them
  understand. But if you want your childrento be
  honest with you in the future, then you must be
  honest with them too.
• If you and your partner are two reasonable human
  beings who think that solution can be found only
  through a divorce, make sure the to tell your
  child.

  by both, either together or separately. If you
  choose the second option, then your stories must
  match in order not to confuse and hurt your child
  even more.
• Knowing your child, you can imagine what
  questions would follow when you mention the
  divorce. Prepare adequate answers to match.

• Do not be selfish
• Even if your partner has done something
  horrible, hold the anger to yourself. Because the
  child does not need have negative feelings for
  the other parent. The child needs to know that
  the decision was mutual and that you will stay
  his/her parents forever.
• Most of the times children see themselves as the
  reason for the divorce of their parents. Given
  that children are stubborn, you should be
  persistent in wanting to convince them that there
  is no reason to feel that way. Explain that your
  love for them cannot disappear even if you and
  the other parent cannot be together anymore.

• Life goes on
• Explain in details what changes the child should
  await, where and who will live with, how often
  he/she will see the other parent. No matter where
  the child stays, both parents must give immense
  attention and have an understanding of the
  childs feelings.
• Never neglect the children, no matter how hard
  you feel. Their well being and their real
  education must always be on your mind. In
  addition, you will feel better even for a moment
  if you forget the sorrow when you see your
  children smile.

• To provide a proper care for your child it does
  not mean that you have to spoil him/her. You do
  not need to neglect the school obligations, nor
  should you allow them to do what they want in
  order not to feel bad because the label "child of
  divorced parents" will be mentioned.You need to
  be friend with your kid and show them the right
  path.
