Unfortunately, when you have kids (especially teens or tweens), getting through the divorce is merely the beginning. Studies show that what happens after the divorce can have a more negative impact on your kids than any conflict they witnessed during the marriage.

I’ll discuss 6 specific areas where many parents miss the mark and how you can make sure your kid doesn’t suffer needlessly:

1. The details shared with your teen about the divorce
2. How you discuss the other parent with your teen
3. Visitation
4. Communication with your ex-spouse
5. Rules and consequences between households
6. Dating after the divorce
