A Child's Perspective: Misty Hardison On Divorce's Hidden Impact

Off the Fence with Karen Covy: Mastering Decision Making, Divorce & More

Ever wondered how to truly support your children through the emotional whirlwind of divorce? Family law attorney and children’s book author, Misty Hardison from the Rosen Law Firm in North Carolina, knows.

As a family law attorney, Misty has seen how children often struggle to express their feelings and concerns during their parents’ divorce, particularly when they feel caught in the middle between their parents.

Misty’s experiences prompted her to write “Jake's Fridays" a children's book which aims to facilitate discussions between parents and children about the changes that come with divorce. The book addresses common worries kids may experience in divorce but struggle to express.

In this podcast episode we also discuss how high-conflict cases affect kids. We talk about how important it is for parents to keep their child’s perspective in mind as they go through the divorce process since children have no voice in that process themselves. We also talk about parenting coordinators and the role they can play in keeping the peace between warring parents.

If you’re a parent going through a divorce, the insights Misty shares in this episode can give you valuable insight into the way that you can minimize the impact your divorce may have on your children, and how you can truly put your children first.
