A Father's Love: Erik Feig on Navigating Divorce in Neurodiverse Families


Listen Later

Erik Feig is an attorney, a mediator, and the father of three neurodivergent children.  Navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic with his own complex family inspired him to leave the practice of law and create a mediation practice focused on helping other families with neurodiverse children navigate conflict more effectively.

In this podcast episode, Erik explains – both from personal experience as well as professional expertise - the tremendous amount of extra coordination and energy that families with neurodivergent kids require.  It’s not unusual for parents in such families to experience conflict in how to best manage the extra challenges they face.

Erik helps parents mediate those inevitable conflicts – both in the context of divorce and in intact families.  He facilitates discussions to bridge divides and helps parents cooperate to meet their kids' needs in a way that causes minimal disruption.

If you know any parents who have a neurodiverse child and are experiencing conflict in their family, this episode will open their eyes to new and effective ways to resolve that conflict and get the help and support they need.
