Be Reasonable

Sometimes parents fight just to fight and use their children as pawns. I know that that seems hard to believe but it is true. If you find that you cannot be reasonable, try putting yourself in the shoes of your child. Can you imagine your Mom trying to prevent your Dad that you love and care about? Can you imagine your Dad saying nasty things to you about your Mom? It just hurts your heart if you are the child. So, if you are the divorce attorney, this is not your personal divorce. You should be reasonable and give your client advice to be reasonable. It is not that hard if there are two fit parents that want to be in the lives of their child. Just be reasonable, as Webster would say: ” having sound judgment; fair and sensible.”
