charleston divorce lawyers holiday survival guide

It’s that time of year again. The holidays, of course, where children move back and forth between their separated or divorced parents, where money is short, where demands on time, temper and money become tight, and where small impressions made may live forever.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day. Here is some holiday advice from our James Island divorce lawyers on giving your children special gifts when they are experiencing the divorce or separation of their parents.

Every holiday brings strain to children whose parents are divorced, going through a divorce, or just separated – no matter how long it has been since their parents have been together.

Father and/or Mother may now have a new spouse (stepfather or stepmother), a significant other, or just a new boyfriend or girlfriend. There may or may not be loving grandparents in the pictu [Read more…]
