If you have minor children and are getting a divorce or have separated from your children's other parent if unmarried, then you will need to create, or will have a judge create, a parenting plan outlining your parenting time with your children. This can be a situation fraught with emotion and fear as you face not seeing your children every day or contemplate spending holidays without them. There is one thing that almost every client that I have helped over the years has said as we work to negotiate the plan that definitely does not help their case when seeking more time with their kids, but yet, they say it every time! In this video I share these words with you and explain a better way to communicate so that you can get a parenting plan that works for you all!
Recently named as one of the top family law attorneys and mediators in the country, Attorney Susan Guthrie, calls upon her 30 years of experience in the field, as both a top litigator as well as a mediation professional, in order to bring you the top tips and latest tools to help you navigate the divorce process more easily, and with less expense and stress. As Susan likes to say, "This Ain't Your Mama's Divorce"!

Totally agree. It’s a makevelian country club full of psychopaths.

100000000% they only care that the case is over and done with…they favour the mother from start to finish. It’s a vial and disgusting thing to say “they care for the best I treat for the child” It’s formed around what the mother wants and gets, let’s be honest here! 🙄

@crazycannabiscatlady Жыл бұрын

I couldn’t disagree more. Because there has been a propensity to favor the mother now when a father does so little and want to be involved in fear of wages being taken for child support. With no intention to provide a home for the child to reside in and no initiative to parent the child the judge is now automatically giving the father 50/50 without any evidence that it’s in the child’s best interest. @@loanphanserverofjesuschris2369

Accountability is Kryptonite to women. That's not negative or irrational it's the observable truth.

Whichever parent has the most money- wins! Better lawyer, better house, more "resources," more ability.

This made me feel so much better. My daughter will be with her Dad for the school week and me on the weekends and breaks. We’ll switch in the Summer and I’ll have her more. This works best for our girl, but I had strong Mom guilt about it. This was helpful. ❤

The last tip was interesting in such that one want want and want but in their receiving it became a detriment to their free time, self care moment and free time simply to breath and recoup

But usually the mother wants to steal The children from the father because of money. They want it all and the courts are set that way. The best interest of the child is something that they just say.

They steal your child from you then play semantic games when you try to get them back. So stupid.

These professionals must be psychopaths. It’s insane.

There's no black and white in Family Law. Each judge practices differently according to their own subjectivity (and what side of the bed they woke up on that day). The best thing you can do is hire a really intuitive lawyer who's good on their feet and intimately knows how all the judges and other lawyers play. Its a game. The winner is whoever proves to be most shrewd.

What if your going for full custody. The mother has been mia. The grandmother has guardianship?

@andreaalban1057 Жыл бұрын

when do you initiate the child support? after the parenting plan is finalized or at anytime?

@MrProfessional777 Жыл бұрын

Courts usually merge Child Support and Parenting Plans in the same hearing and proceedings. If both are filed, both will be addressed at the same time.

This Bullsh!t. Allowing a child to capriciously decide at 14 they can make such a life altering decision is NOT in the best interest of the child. In my state, age 16 they can drop out of school. So, they can make 2 life altering decisions within 2 years of each other and the court just rubber stamps it. Now, you see why the country is where it is.

@SusanGuthrieEsq Ай бұрын

I'm not certain you grasped the concept that I was trying to convey in the video. The point is that the parents need to focus on the needs of the child, not their own needs. I was not advocating for children making the decisions. I hope that helps to clarify.
