In this Episode of "Ask Henry" with Attorney, Henry Gornbein, Henry answers questions related to visitation issues with your children during the holidays and what annulments are and how they work.

The Holidays can be an especially difficult time when you are divorcing, especially the first year. Henry discusses options of sharing time with your children. It's always best if you can come up with a shared holiday plan with your ex because if you can't, the judge will be forced to do so. If you can't come to an amicable agreement, Henry offers advice on how to approach your attorney as a means of bargaining for fair rights for equal parenting time. Divorce Source Radio would advise you consider the best interest of your children first.

The second question deals with Annulments. What are they? Is there a difference between a legal annulment and a religious annulment? Does an annulment free you of paying spousal support and how easy is it to get one?

In this episode of The Intelligent Divorce with Dr. Mark Banschick, M.D., our topic is Fairness.

Many of us going through a divorce have felt we have been wronged and that much of what we are going through is unfair. We had hopes and dreams that our marriage would last forever and then one day, perhaps out of the blue, our partner tells us they want out of the marriage, you're served divorce papers or you discover your spouse has been having an affair. Even the court system fails us in their attempt of fairness.

This can leave us feeling so betrayed and it all feels so unfair. As parents, we have a duty to teach our children about fairness. The only fair outcome of your divorce would be to free yourself from what you believe was not fair and move on to a happier life, and in the process, provide an example to your children that there's a better life out there with acceptance.

This program also features a powerful example of forgiveness from the biblical story of Job. This is a MUST HEAR PROGRAM for any listener who feels that their divorce wasn't fair
