What we have to do is we have to separate the party’s relationship from the party’s relationship with the children. The hardest part of a divorce lawyer’s job is to get the people to visualize that we’re not dealing with their husband or wife anymore, we’re dealing with their relationship with the kid and what they want out of that relationship. It is important that they understand at the get-go that that’s our goal. We try to educate parents on the danger of their behavior and abuses to the kids and all the different ways of conflict resolution.
