It’s that time of year when most of us are thinking about and planning our summer get-aways with our children. If you are a separated or divorced parent, there is a lot more to think about than just your destination. It’s important to include key elements regarding vacations in the parenting plan you might be in the process of developing or modifying. Doing your due diligence now just might avoid a lot of stress and anxiety with your co-parent down the road.
There are many questions, concerns and even fears when approaching the concept of divorce, whether done collaboratively or not.
Collaborative divorce concludes in the same way legally as a traditional divorce: you are no longer married to your former spouse. Collaborative Divorce is just done differently.
The collaborative process allows families to maintain control over their divorce.
When we use the collaborative process, the parties make all of the decisions and agreements with the guidance of their professional teams. This prevents a court from having any say.
If creating an agreement that takes your unique family and needs into consideration is important, the collaborative process is likely a good fit for you and your family. Reach out to your team at McGill Law to learn more about this better approach to divorce.
There is something so refreshing about resetting your space as the seasons change. During the winter season, I often feel like I’m just holding on for brighter, warmer days. As a result, my home and life become cluttered. Laundry baskets overflow, kid’s toys are everywhere, and my attention is scattered in a thousand different directions.
Unfortunately, clutter in our homes increases our stress levels. Studies show that you’re also more likely to continue adding to the mess in an already-cluttered home. Your belongings get misplaced, and your anxiety increases as you realize you’ll have to dig your way out. Instead of stressing about the mess, here are some tips to refresh your space and life this spring:
Many clients want to know first and foremost what will happen to their home as a result of their divorce. This is an important question. Homes are valuable not only because of the financial investment but also because of the emotional ties. From a financial perspective, homes are oftentimes the most valuable asset involved in a divorce case. Therefore, it is worthwhile to consider your options and do your due diligence in deciding what makes the most sense for your family.
As a Nebraskan, by February I usually question why I have willingly chosen to live somewhere so cold, dark, and drab. Then Spring returns and I am reminded of the perspective shift that ensues each year like clockwork. Often it takes darkness to truly appreciate the light. It’s during these months that I remember the lessons that nature demonstrates time and time again.
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” – Lao Tzu
