FIVE WAYS TO PUT YOUR CHILD FIRST IN YOUR DIVORCE
1) Cooperate with the other parent regarding custody and parenting time.
2) Do not “bad mouth” your spouse while your child is in your care.
3) Remember, it is natural for a child to want to stay where the child is accustomed. Talk with your child about any changes in his or her living arrangement.
4) Keep exchanges of the child brief and refrain from arguing in front of the child.
5) Do not involve your child in any conflicts with the other parent.

Call the Law Office of Li-Shann Durst, PLLC at (703) 443-4762 or visit ldurstlaw.com to learn how you can divorce more peacefully.
