A resident of East Rockaway, New York, Marc Rovner is an experienced attorney who has served as director of business development for BETA Abstract since 1998. Supplementing his work with the multimillion-dollar title insurance company, East Rockaway’s Marc Rovner volunteers with the Children's Rights Council, where he helps children and families deal with divorce or separation.
Divorce isn't easy for any of the involved parties, but the real point of emphasis should be the children. The two partners should put their issues aside in the interest of protecting the child or children, and making sure they understand exactly what is happening and that, no matter what, they are loved equally. In explaining the divorce, do it in a straightforward way while emphasizing that it's for the best. However, you should also encourage your kids to share their emotions regarding the divorce, and explain that it's normal to feel sad or angry; by expressing themselves, children can feel a sense of empowerment and alleviate frustration. Perhaps most importantly, reassure your child or children that the divorce isn't their fault, and avoid speaking negatively about the other parent in their presence. Moreover, both parents should be willing to change the visitation schedule if necessary, and if one is often a no-show for visitation, consider having a backup plan to make things easier for the kids.
