Divorce is a difficult experience for spouses to endure and, if you think you
are having a hard time coping with it, imagine what your children might
be going through. Even the most amicable divorce will present some hardships
for children and, regardless if they are exhibiting signs of an emotional
struggle or not, your children are likely having some difficulties with
processing this new information and the uncertainty attached to it. Of
course, given the fact that no two children are alike, they will understandably
cope differently with a divorce. Some might show more aggression and anger
than usual, while others might cry or appear to be more sensitive. However,
your child is reacting, if you are unsure whether or not to seek therapy
for your children, it is best to err on the side of caution and take them
to a therapist.

To further assist you in making this decision, here are some general hints
that your children might need or benefit from therapy:

• Trusted friends, family members, or other individuals who are regularly
  part of your child’s life have expressed concern
• You often feel angry, exhausted, or disappointed with your child
• Your child’s behavior or symptoms are interfering with the normal
  functions of your family
• Your child’s behavior or symptoms interfere with his or her usual functions
• Your child asks to see a therapist (rare, but not impossible)

Here are some more specific symptoms that might suggest your children need therapy:

• Lack of appetite or difficulty sleeping, neither of which are medical related
• Excessive difficulties coping with the separation
• A persistent sad and melancholic mood
• Physical complaints that are not linked to a distinguishable cause
• Loss of interest in friends or trouble getting along with peers
• Deterioration in school performance
• Inability to concentrate
• Unrealistic fears and phobias
• Pathological lying
• Risky behaviors
• Excessive weight loss or gain that is unrelated to a medical condition
• Rude behavior
• Theft

Many of these signs are on the more extreme side of the spectrum, but if
you recognize any of these in your children, you will want to consider
taking him or her to a therapist. Your divorce is never going to be a
pleasant memory for your children and it is okay to acknowledge that it
is a sad event, but it is important to ensure it does not become a turning
point in their lives towards negative and self-destructive behavior.

Now that it’s summer and the kids are home, you might be thinking
of getting away for a family vacation. For many divorced couples, figuring
out a vacation custody agreement can be a difficult challenge. This is
especially true when both parents can’t agree on custody arrangements
for traveling out of country. Usually, a court order for vacations with
a minor child will often restrict the area of travel. Depending on your
individual child custody agreement, there are a few things to keep in
mind if your ex-spouse wants to take the kids on a vacation out of the country.

What You Can Do

Notify Each Other: The parent planning the trip must provide reasonable notification. This
is determined case by case but generally depends on the length and nature
of the vacation. It is also important to maintain communication with your
ex. Ensure there is a means of communication with the traveling parent
and child. Your ex should also give you an itinerary of the trip. This
is important information to have in case of an emergency.

Make a Document: Whatever you and your ex decide on regarding vacation custody arrangements,
get it in writing. Include as many details you want, but be sure the custodial
rights of each parent are clearly stated. Enforce your travel document.
If your ex breaches the terms of the document, you can sue. Enforcing
your travel arrangements also puts your ex on notice that their actions
might have legal repercussions.

Consider a Holiday/ Vacation Schedule: A schedule like this makes vacation planning easier for both parents.
With this arrangement, travel custody for winter and summer breaks will
be spelled out ahead of time. This can help you avoid an argument with
your ex when vacation time comes around.
