How Parents Can Prepare for Back to School After a Glen Burnie, MD Divorce
Sending your kids off to school this year might feel a bit different, if its their first time going back after your Glen Burnie, MD divorce. Although you might not think this annual act is any different since you and your ex are no longer together, it probably is, and much more than you know. You can make this transition a bit more seamless when you take a few proactive steps.
Do Not Use School as a Pick Up or Drop Off Area
School is not the ideal place for you and your ex to exchange your child after your Anne Arundel County divorce, particularly if theres a chance you could fight with each other. Your child deserves to go to school without having to worry about whether or not her parents will fight with each other. This worry could affect her performance. Pick another place to keep everyone happy.
Talk to the Teacher or Counselor
Alerting your childs teacher or counselor about your recent Glen Burnie divorce or separation may help her to better understand your child during the school year. If you are the custodial parent and your ex isnt in the picture, advise the teacher of that, as well. You may also want to alert the school counselor of your new situation, so that he may be able to help your child if needed.
Update Your Information
It is your responsibility to make sure the teacher knows your contact information, particularly if it has changed. Dont leave this duty up to your ex, as you may miss important information as a result. Meet with the teacher or shoot him an email advising of your new information.
As civil and smooth as you want this new school year to go after your Glen Burnie, MD divorce, unfortunately, it may not happen. Sometimes you need the help of an un-biased party to assist in making decisions. The lawyers of Jimeno and Gray can be that extra voice.
