People made fun of Gwyneth Paltrow for using the term "conscious uncoupling" to describe her divorce. In fact, she even derided the term herself later on, but that shouldn't diminish the thoughts and theory behind it. This divorce approach works especially well in helping the children through this challenging time full of changes over which they otherwise have little to no control.
Divorce doesn't have to leave you in a bad place
California parents must adhere to court's child suport rulings
Co-parenting is definitely not always easy, especially if parents disagree about important issues. Regarding child support, which is often a topic of contention, it is always best to get the terms of an agreement in writing and to seek the court's approval. Once a California judge has issued a court order, both parents are legally obligated to adhere to the terms. In many situations, if a parent believes a ruling was handed down in error or believes that a judge's decision was unfair, an appeal may be filed in the appropriate court.
Child support issues can be stressful for California parents
A decision to file for divorce is definitely not something to be taken lightly, especially if children are involved. California parents often worry that if they end a marriage, they will struggle to provide for the ongoing needs of their children. This is particularly true in cases where a parent has sacrificed a career during marriage to stay home full-time and raise a family. Learning as much as possible about state child support laws ahead of time may help alleviate stress during court proceedings.
