You’ve finished mediation—so when is your divorce actually final?

It’s one of the most common questions people have during the divorce process. The answer can depend on court timelines, paperwork, and the specifics of your case.

This blog explains what happens after mediation and what you can expect as you move toward a final divorce decree.

Going through a divorce? Your child’s teacher may need to know.

Back-to-school is already a big transition. When there are changes happening at home too, keeping teachers and counselors informed can help your child get the understanding and support they need.

You don’t have to share every detail. A simple conversation can make a difference.

Learn why keeping your child’s school informed matters.

Why Should Teachers Be Told About Your Separation or Divorce? Your kids are in school, but neither the school nor their teachers were made aware of your divorce or separation. Learn what can happen.

Divorce changes life at home, but children carry those changes with them to school, too.

Teachers, counselors, and school staff can be an important part of your child’s support system during and after divorce. Knowing how to communicate with the school while keeping your child’s needs at the center can make a meaningful difference.

In this blog, we share the Three Be Method for helping children navigate divorce during the school year:

Be Honest — Keep teachers and school staff appropriately informed about changes at home.

Be Creative — Find a school communication approach that works for your family and co-parenting situation.

Be Involved — Stay connected with your child’s teachers, counselors, activities, and school community.

No matter what your co-parenting relationship looks like, the goal is the same: creating stability, support, and consistency for your child.
