What subject(s) does this advice apply to?
Easing emotional trauma
Easing the transition between two households

What advice can you offer?
Let the kids be with the one they want to be, and don't try and make a big issue over money. If both love their kids, there will be no fussing. Believe me I HAVE BEEN THRU IT. I raised both my daughter and son and they came and went as they pleased between homes, NO CHILD SURPORT and there was a order for it, but we both loved our kids and were able to visit. But you have got to really love and want for your kids to make this work.

The only thing I hate about the whole thing was that it was not a family that stayed together. But it sure was a good turn out. It has taken real honest people for it to go that way. Good luck, I know its going to be hard.

This advice is most appropriate for parents with children in...
Elementary School
