Family lawyers like Sheree Walder say that, in fact, more divorces end in fairly positive arrangements. And that's when the threats go back and forth. But eventually, they realize that the children will be better off with the active parenting of both mother and father. Walder says that courts and judges now primarily consider the well-being of the kids. She recommends that any parent who is being barred from his or her child's life should contact a family law practitioner, if not for their own sake, then for the sake of their children.
Parents have to work at restoring trust, at least in dealing with their children.
According to the law, children have a right to be raised by both parents. Sheree Walder is a lawyer in the firm Myers Weinberg.
