In today’s episode, divorce coach and family law attorney Zeppy Attashian discusses a vital emotional and practical preparation you need to make regarding your children before you leave your marriage.

In fact, there are more restrictions placed on you as a parent when you leave a relationship then there are when you remain in your relationship. Zeppy provides an in-depth explanation as to why it is imperative that you pause before you start the process of leaving so you can understand the limits to freedom when it comes to children and custody. You can create a preparedness plan for communication and negotiation with your soon-to-be-ex to ensure that you do what is best for your children while still reclaiming your independence.
