I often give advice because that’s my job as an attorney but the one piece of advice that I find that I give a lot is take the high road. There are so many different areas that you can argue about with your former partner someone being five minutes late picking up and dropping off, having to buy a second glove ‘cause your ex forgot their glove in the car just take the high road. Children pick up on tension and chaos between the parent and it affects them negatively. So if it’s not going to kill you, try to take the high road, try to work with the other part as much as humanly possible. It will make your life easier, it will make your children’s lives easier.

Atlanta, GA family law attorney Regina I. Edwards gives insightful wisdom regarding how parents should behave when involved with a recent divorce. She explains that one recurring piece of advice I often share with clients is to take the high road. As an attorney, I recognize that there are numerous potential areas of conflict and disagreements that can arise with a former partner, such as minor issues like being slightly late for pick-ups or forgotten items. However, I encourage my clients to prioritize the well-being of their children and maintain a positive approach. By taking the high road and choosing to work cooperatively with the other parent whenever feasible, it can lead to a smoother and more harmonious experience for everyone involved. Children are perceptive and can be negatively impacted by tension and discord between their parents. Therefore, if it’s not a matter of great significance, I advise clients to choose the path of understanding and cooperation. This approach not only benefits their own lives but also contributes to creating a more positive environment for their children.
