You've simply made a mistake , and you need to deal with it. Your child will be getting lots of advice. If your child is typical, he or she will have trouble finding someone who's willing to just listen and love. If you can, doing so may be the finest gift you can ever give your child. If you cannot play this role, perhaps you can introduce your child to someone else who can.
Divorce hurts in all kinds of ways, but one of the ways it hurts the most is in the pocketbook.
Divorce costs money . Sometimes lots of money. That's up to you. It comes down to how easy it is to help, whether your child is able to use help prudently, and whether you want to encourage the fight to continue. And let's be honest, it also often comes down to your level of confidence about whether the money you give will just go to your child's spouse in the form of a more generous settlement.
