Texas Divorce Lawyer Whitney L. Thompson Explains How to Tell the Children About the Divorce

Harris, Texas -

Texas divorce lawyer Whitney L. Thompson (https://www.wthompsonlaw.com/texas-divorce-lawyer-how-to-tell-your-kids-youre-getting-a-divorce/) releases a new article explaining how to tell the children about the divorce. The lawyer mentions that telling the kids about the divorce can be very difficult. However, if parents are able to discuss it well, they can help their family heal more quickly.

“This conversation will probably be the first of many with your kids. As you both adjust to life during and after divorce, it’s good to be open to answering any questions that your children may have. Your children will most likely remember how you handle the divorce for the rest of their lives. There is no perfect or easy way to do it, but it’s important to try to do it with as much compassion and emotional support as possible,” the Texas divorce lawyer says.

The lawyer explains that it is important that both parents are on the same page. When it comes to telling the children about their divorce, it is very important that they are united in the decision. This conversation will help the children feel their parent's support and can help safeguard their emotional well-being. For this conversation, it is important that both parents make it seem that the choice is mutual.

Attorney Whitney L. Thompson adds that many parents feel that this type of conversation should be one-on-one as each child will react differently. It can be easier to handle emotions if there are no other people present. However, experts recommend that divorce is best discussed with the whole family, and parents can follow up with each child afterward.

In the article, attorney Thompson says, “No two people react the same to their parents telling them they are getting divorced. There could be crying or shouting, anger or grief. Or your child might be more concerned about how the divorce will affect their situation at the moment. The most important thing is to be there for your children and provide them with the support they need.”

Lastly, the lawyer emphasizes the importance of having a skilled divorce attorney when dealing with matters involving divorce. Having an experienced divorce attorney may be able to help an individual understand their rights and help them receive a more favorable outcome.
