While hosted by a church, this is a course developed and implemented by local family law attorneys. If you’re a co-parent, I strongly encourage your attendance. As parents, we often say, “there’s no manual for this!” Well, now you can get advice and support for your co-parenting relationship. Your children deserve it!

The next session of Communication Skills for Co-parenting will begin Wednesday, Oct. 14, at Parkway Heights.
This class has been developed to assist parents who are divorced, who never married but live separately or who live together but do not always agree about parenting. Over the six-week class, parents will develop skills to communicate and work together towards raising an independent child. Topics will include a discussion of personality types, various types of relationships, raising strong children, psychological effects of divorce on children, decision making, communication, discipline, alienation and beyond. There is no registration fee or other charge for this class; however, appropriate opportunities for love offerings may be provided.

Please help us spread the word to anyone in the community who could benefit from this helpful workshop.
In preparing my taxes (yes, just now) I see that I wrote checks for 36 birth certificates in 2019.
Know what that means?
THIRTY-SIX ADOPTIONS!!
Of those 36 adoptions, 31 were free to my clients, as I do not charge my clients for my time on adoptions from State custody.
I probably won’t top that this year with courts’ slowing down, so I’m just going to bask in the emotional reward for a bit. ❤️
*edited as I found that one check was for a birth certificate correction
We will be rescheduling or moving all appointments to telephonic for the foreseeable future in an effort to minimize contact and to do our part to keep others healthy.
In this time of stress and uncertainty, please do your part to keep others healthy by exercising social distancing. It is the only method of limiting the spread of COVID-19 and the potentially devastating effects the pandemic can have on our communities.
If you share custody or have a visitation schedule with your child’s other parent, please don’t use this pandemic as a time to flex your “you can’t tell me what to do” muscles.
The sickness of a child is a parent’s worse nightmare. While we are currently seeing an unexplained low rate of this infection in children, that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. It also doesn’t mean we should be careless.
Respect the parent of your child enough to heed all warnings. Do what is best for your child, even if it’s inconvenient for you. Your job as a parent is to put your child above almost anything else.
Discuss with your co-parent how you will handle this unprecedented pandemic.
Try to get on the same page about how you explain this to your child(ren).
Exercise restraint in what you allow your child(ren) to hear and see. This is scary for those of us who can process it. I can’t imagine the fear a child may have.
Here’s your chance, mom and dad, to show us that you can put your child’s best interest first.
Adoptions are the highlight of my business!
