After years of talking about it, today I have finally started a child custody blog.! I’ve been a family law attorney/child advocate for over 20 years, and have worked with hundreds of divorcing and separated parents to help them make decisions in their children’s best interest. Everyone wants to do right by their children. I’m hoping my blog can offer some guidance.

Please check out my inaugural post and pass it along to friends and family who are are experiencing custody issues. If you are interested in more posts, make sure to press the “subscribe” button. I’ll be posting weekly about child-centered topics, such as meeting your kids were they are at, guiding them through hardship, and improving communication.

I apologize if you already got this post because you are also my personal FB friend.

Some great stuff to consider:

Keeping Kids Out of the Middle When Parents Divorce By Christina McGhee   Every day we tell our kids to stop. Stop arguing, stop being loud, stop touching each other… you know the drill. Just stop. And we expect them to do it. When parent split up kids have their own list of “stops” for us to...
