Life isn't always easy; in fact, sometimes, extenuating circumstances cause a lot of emotional, financial or even physical turmoil. If you're one of many Minnesota parents currently preparing to divorce, you are likely worried about how your decision to end your marriage might affect your kids. Here's the good news: Children are typically highly resilient and adaptable.
That doesn't necessarily mean it will be smooth sailing the whole way through, though. In much the same way that you need to stay organized and engage support systems when needed to juggle the responsibilities, or work and home life, for instance, you can do the same thing during and after divorce proceedings. There are legal protections already in place to support your children, and, as their parent, you can keep close watch on how they're doing, emotionally.
