Domestic Violence in a Marriage or Co-Parenting Relationship:

I do not take it for granted that there are those who may be experiencing domestic violence in their marriage and/or co-parenting relationship. This week I spend some time talking about this very serious topic. 

Domestic Violence Statistics

Signs of Abuse:

Finding fault with everything you do.

Isolation from friends and family

Interference with your leaving the house or going places unsupervised

Threats of Violence

Mental/Emotional Abuse/Financial Abuse

I answer the following: 

What impact does domestic violence have on a divorce? Can it impact who lives in the home? 

What about violence in front of the children? Will that affect parenting time? 

Order of Protection: Criminal vs. Civil What’s the difference

Can the domestic violence court award custody? 

Types of Protective Orders: Emergency Order of Protection/Interim Order of Protection/No Contact Order

What about 3rd parties? 

Tips on things to do if you have experienced domestic violence in your relationship

Do not alert the abuser that you are planning to leave.

Create a safety plan.

Join a support group. Even if you aren’t ready to leave yet it can help if you have access to a group of people who have left. Many of these groups are anonymous.

Always call 911 in an emergency.

 

Safety Plan:

Be aware of the sort of behavior that precedes an attack. 

Decide on some safe place you can go. This might include a shelter, a friend's home, family home, hotel, or another place in which you feel safe.

Decide how you will get to that safe place.

Keep some money and a set of extra keys with you and some with your family and/or friends, so you can leave.

Decide how you may escape from your home if an attack is imminent. 

Memorize important numbers.

Welcome back to Season 2 of the Harvey Law Speaks Podcast!!! 

Happy New Year. We kick off the New Year with some "New Year Resolutions." 

Truth be told, I don’t set resolutions I set intentions so I have some suggested intentions for Co-Parents or those experiencing divorce in this season. 

Intend to be a better mom and a better Dad

Intend to communicate better

Intend to not sweat the small stuff

Keep your child first

Keep growing, and learning

Also, the celebrities were busy over our small break.

This week #HarveyLawSpeaks on dealing with new relationships post a break up. I'm not a relationship expert but I have seen third parties cause issues. See the tips below:

Those interested in dating: 

Take your time. “Just wait a while”

No Physical Discipline

Don’t ever send them or allow them to keep the children unsupervised before they have been introduced to the spouse

Watch your language about the other person. 

It’s going to get harder before it gets better.

The other parent:

They are not looking to replace you as a Mother/Father

Your Time is your time. Their time is their time.

Encourage respect

Watch your language

It’s going to get harder before it gets better.

This week #HarveyLawSpeaks on why your divorce is taking so long.

Contrary to popular opinion, a divorce doesn’t have to take a really long time. It could be over much sooner if you both agreed but you don’t do it lingers.

Tips:

Stop blaming the other person for everything. 

Count the costs.

Ask yourself what are you really arguing about.

Don’t make difficult your default position.

Make the decision for yourself to be better. 

This week in celebrity news I’m going to discuss: Mashonda, the author of Blend: The Secret to Co-Parenting and Creating a Balanced Family
