'Tis the Season for Newly Empty Nests

View this email in your browser

Graduation season is upon us. This period of time often marks a significant shift in family dynamics. For many partners in a marriage who are watching their only child, or their youngest child leave “the nest,” it is not uncommon for this season of life to bring with it a period of contemplation and a yearning for something else. For some couples, this means reinvesting in their marriage. For others, it can mean divorce. If you or someone you know is considering divorce, we would love to be a resource. Feel free to forward this email, and check out our podcast and other information on our website!

TOPIC OF THE MONTH

For many couples, an empty nest is the opportune time for closing a chapter and beginning a new chapter by ending a marriage. Divorce for couples after their children have left the nest seems simple at first, however, empty nest divorces can be very challenging. While we do not have legally mandated provisions that have to be included in the decree for adult children, there are still questions that have to be answered: who will pay for college expenses, how will we cover medical expenses for our adult children, and what about car expenses? What if an adult child has special needs –will that be considered and accounted for? If you, or someone you know, is contemplating a divorce after the children have left the nest, we would love to meet and help answer some of these questions based on your unique circumstances.
