2011-08-27

August 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) Divorce is not easy on anyone. When two partners decide to part ways, the painful divide affects more than just the two spouses. Multiple lives are clearly impacted. Children of divorcing parents are also confronted with strong emotions and abrupt changes in lifestyle. Certainly, their lives often become tumultuous, for an adjustment period, anyways. While their world suddenly looks different, there is good news.

It is true that divorce may be challenging, difficult and even painful for children of all ages, but they truly can survive their parent's divorce. In fact, some children may even come away stronger and more resilient.

Dr Nowinski's Theories on Divorce & Children

Dr. Joseph Nowinski, author and well-known psychologist, has studied and worked with many families impacted by divorce. He maintains that all children will experience trials and stresses throughout their life; they are part of the human existence. No parent can completely protect a child from all difficulties. Children, even at young ages, must deal with competition, status, bullying and even failures.

Life will bring struggles for all people, including children, and some more than others. He believes that if a child feels purpose in their lives, along with other positive factors, they can grow. It's through hard times that children can rise to the occasion and become stronger for it. The adults these young people look up to play a significant role during these seasons.

Children Look to Their Parents During Divorce

Texas parents truly aid in the outcome of their children and their response to the parents' divorce. As primary caretakers, parents must remember they need to be positive role models. Dr. Joseph Nowinski believes that parents who are resilient and handle their own stresses correctly will pass this gift onto their own children. Children watch their parents' character and disposition when personal trials come their way. Children clearly are like sponges and take in what they see in real life.

In conclusion, how a child responds to divorce and new child custody arrangements may depend greatly on their greatest role models. While Texas divorce brings change and often closure, children can learn that it also allows for new beginnings. It is a chance to triumph in trial and become a better human being. And that is always a great place to be.

Texas Marital Fraud: How to Tell If Your Spouse is Hiding Assets

2011-08-27

Unfortunately, divorce often brings out the less seemly side of those people we once loved.

Naming Beneficiaries in Estate Planning Documents

2011-08-27

Assets with beneficiary forms seem appealing to people trying to set up estate plans. Such assets have the benefit of going directly to the heirs and avoiding the lengthy and sometimes costly probate process. However, people need to make sure that they coordinate their named beneficiary assets with the rest of their estate planning documents such as wills and trusts. Otherwise people may inadvertently sabotage their own plans for their possessions after they die because such forms override wills -- wills do not override beneficiary designations. Those making estate plans ...

Keeping Estate Plans Current

2011-08-27

No one really likes to contemplate his or her own mortality, but traditional wisdom teaches that a little planning during life makes things a lot easier on surviving loved ones after death -- which is why it is prudent to make a will. However, many believe that once they have accomplished that task they need never think about it again. The truth is that a person needs to revisit his or her estate plan periodically to ensure that it remains current and accurately expresses his or her wishes, especially after major life events such as marriage, divorce, births, deaths, moves, ...

The same number of fishermen, but less salmon in Spanish rivers

2011-08-27

"It's not that the salmon are biting less, there are less of them," explained Eva García Vázquez, lead author and Functional Biology researcher at the University of Oviedo (Spain). The study, published in Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, shows a "very marked" decline in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations in the Narcea, Sella and Cares rivers (Asturias, northern Spain), especially during the last decade, almost simultaneously with the reduction in the amount caught by recreational fishermen. "Given that fishing effort has almost been constant until ...

Electronic Infidelity in Texas Marriage & Divorce

2011-08-27
