Child Related Matters in Divorce
Where the children will live after a divorce and how they will be supported is an important issue in every divorce involving children. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, children are generally supported through college graduation (if before age 23). If the children are college-bound, parents consider how to fund college education in the course of their divorce. Child custody mediators also provide assistance for divorcing parents with Visitation, Child Support, and Child Removal.
Having these conversations led by a experienced divorce mediator leads to thoughtful discussions of what is best for the children, and how the parents can support the children (and each other) in raising the children through independence (legal emancipation).
In child custody mediation, the couple can discuss, think about, and even try out a number of parenting plans, until they find one that suits them and their children.
