Amicable? Ha! But Child-Centered Principles Can Help

Join us as we explore the nuances of child-centered divorce with our insightful guest, Tracy Ann Moore Grant, the founder of the Amicable Divorce Network. Tracy shares her expertise on how emotions can cloud judgment during divorce proceedings, leading parents to prioritize personal outcomes over the well-being of their children. Discover the innovative approach of the Amicable Divorce Network, which focuses on guiding clients toward decisions that benefit their children while avoiding the pitfalls of lengthy court battles. With January being a peak month for divorce filings, Tracy emphasizes the importance of awareness and offers better options for those considering divorce.

Listen in as we address the critical impact of divorce on children, emphasizing that it's the conflict, not the divorce itself, that causes harm. Learn strategies to protect children, including avoiding negative behavior and utilizing the Amicable Divorce Network's vetted professionals to facilitate smoother transitions. We also highlight the value of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes, which prioritize child-centered values even when dealing with challenging personalities. This discussion sheds light on how experienced professionals can navigate difficult situations to reach amicable resolutions that prioritize the children's well-being.

Finally, we delve into the challenges of co-parenting, especially when dealing with addiction or mental health issues, and the benefits of therapy during these transitions. Discover the importance of involving children in activities that provide stability and how these can serve as neutral grounds for parents. Tracy introduces the exciting expansion of the Amicable Divorce Network, now available in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and announces the upcoming release of their book, "Divorce Amicably: How to Save Your Time, Money, and Sanity Through Divorce," set to launch on March 25th. We encourage listeners to consider amicable divorce as a first option and thank our audience for their support in promoting harmonious resolutions.
