About this ebook

"Your divorce doesn't have to damage your children..., " Stahl assures, " ... especially if you limit your children's exposure to your conflicts." He knows parents are not perfect, and he uses that knowledge to show imperfect parents how to settle their differences in the best interests of the children. This revised and updated second edition features ideas from the latest research, more information on long-distance parenting, dealing with the courts, and working with a difficult co-parent. A realistic perspective on divorce and its effects on children, Parenting After Divorce features knowledgeable advice from an expert custody evaluator. Packed with real-world examples, this book avoids idealistic assumptions, and offers practical help for divorcing parents, custody evaluators, family court counselors, marriage and family therapists and others interested in the best interests of the children.

Ratings and reviews

I have many years experience facilitating divorce recovery workshops and support groups and mediating divorce settlements. I have attended a workshop / seminar conducted by this author. This is one of the best books available on this topic. Divorcing or divorced parents would do their children and eternal favor if they would read and FOLLOW, i.e. LIVE, the advice of this author. I consider Stahl a tremendous resource and a man with a heart. -Don C. Hampton
