44th Circuit Court - Livingston County, MI
"Children love both parents and most want their parents to be together. When parents do not live together, children and parents alike may experience anxiety which may cause anger, sadness and sorrow. Family structure and relationships are different, including the relationship between both parents an d the children, especially when changes involve different residences and a loss of family traditions. It is a very difficult time for everyone, which may worsen when parents do or say negative things to each other. Although all children when going through the divorce process will feel hurt and sadness, the parents, by cooperating together, can minimize the harm their children will suffer. "Parents can help by establishing or maintaining children’s regular routines, encouraging frequent and regular contact between children and both parents, and by being supportive of the other parent’s involvement in the children’s day to day life through participation in school and other activities, and exchanging information regarding the children’s well-being. "While the husband-wife or significant other relationship may end, the responsibility to be co-parents continues forever. Though your legal relationship may end when your children become adults, your relationship as parents continues indefinitely. Your children will always want you both to be part of t heir lives, to attend high school or college graduation, to be at their weddings, the birth of their children, and other major life events. They will want to be able to proudly say that despite what mom or day may have felt toward one another, they always treated each other with courtesy and respect and never put us (the children) in the middle of their dispute. "Family law matters are difficult and painful. When a family matter arises, the Family Division of the Circuit Court has the responsibility to assist you to resolve the concerns which affect your family. The Family Division and Friend of the Court are aware of the many emotions which complicate the legal decisions surrounding you and your children." |
