Make Communication Better During A Divorce

Divorce is never a simple thing to experience and the stress and emotional trauma are only possibly intensified when the communication between the couple is either nonexistent or unfriendly. Although having open communication during a divorce may appear to be a logical inconsistency, it is key in reducing the mental stress and emotional hardship both individuals will ultimately suffer.

Here are five tips from Attorney Lynette Boggs-Perez that can help couples to maintain a clear communication while a divorce is pending.

Tone of Voice

What you say and how you say it matters a lot. Indeed. An individual's manner of speaking can easily misquote a statement into an allegation or verbal assault. Ensure you are being aware of how you are stating things and your manner of speaking and make modifications as required. Make sure you will not make your partner feel belittle by using a harsh tone of voice.

Text and Email Communications

Communicating with your ex-partner through email or text messages can be tricky. These kinds of messages can easily misinterpret. Therefore, if you use email or text messaging ensure your message is totally clear in order to avoid any kind of misunderstanding.

One more thing you need to remember is, whatever you write in an email or a text message can be printed out with ease and brought to court as evidence against you. If your divorce is especially volatile, the best option may be utilizing the services of a third-party communications service such as OurFamilyWizard.com.

Lynette Boggs-Perez | Baby Moses Law of Texas

Last week I had an opportunity to speak on a panel of the Christian Chamber of Commerce of San Antonio on the topic of adoption. One of the topics I had the opportunity to speak on was the Baby Moses Law of Texas. The Baby Moses Law , also known as the Safe Haven Law , allows parents to legally abandon their children in their first 60 days of life with no questions asked. Yes, you read this correctly – with no questions asked. The purpose of the law is to provide a responsible option for distressed parents who see no alternative beyond infant abandonment. The name of this law is rooted in the Biblical story of Moses whose mother protected him from a certain death at the hands of the Egyptians who had received orders to kill all male Hebrew infants. She put him in a basket made of “ bulrushes ” and placed it among the reeds by the river bank and he was saved, ironically, by one of the d...

Things to Know About Child Custody Cases

Going through a divorce is definitely a challenging task, but the big challenge is often the battle over the custody of children. In most cases, both parents are named joint managing conservators of the child or children. The battle, however, is usually over the designation of which conservator will have the exclusive right to determine where the child will live. Although divorce is a frequent setting for these types of battles, they happen in all types of scenarios. When a child is born to unmarried parents, there often can be custody battles and they often have a tie to a petition filed for child support or when one of the parents begins another relationship. A custody dispute can also arise when the child has been left in the care, custody, and control of a third party = such as a grandparent – and that individual files a lawsuit seeking to be named the conservator of that child or children. When both the parents (or relatives) are unable to m...
