I understand that we all love our families, i.e. our mom, dad, brothers, sisters, etc...However, this does not mean that, when we get married, we should let them dictate to us how we should behave with our spouses. Unfortunately, it seems almost impossible to keep family members from interfering.

Tonight, I am going to talk a little bit about kids and parenting or parental guidance. The key idea here is for divorced parents to raise their children to the best of their abilities without trying to interfere with the other parent's rearing skills. Sure, you may disagree with the other parent in terms of raising your children, which might be one of or the main reason for your Dr. Dreamernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018265129094792815.post-6463122385809197422007-04-30T15:30:00.000-07:002007-04-30T15:44:52.087-07:00Is the Law Fair? Part (4)Dear Loyal Readers, A little more on that subject..... When the Law metes out justice, and hence, Child Support, it does not check how the money is spent and on whom! In other words, the parent, who is awarded Child Support, may use or misuse the money in any way that she or he pleases. Now, how fair is that? The idea behind Child Support is to ensure that the children are well taken care of, Dr. Dreamernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018265129094792815.post-91909174022106739372007-04-24T15:00:00.000-07:002007-04-24T15:27:14.183-07:00Is Family Law Fair? Part (3)Good evening! Last time, I mentioned that I would expound on the subject. Here is how Family Law operates, which, you will see, defies any logical thinking. It really makes you wonder who wrote these Family Laws? In essence, here is what happens when there is a divorce that involves minor children. The Law gives the Children, and Child Support to one parent, and leaves the other parent with Dr. Dreamernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018265129094792815.post-66481427428203375842007-04-18T15:39:00.000-07:002007-04-24T15:25:34.237-07:00Is Family Law Fair? Part (2)Dear Readers, More on the fairness of the Law..... The sad reality is that one of the parents, whether it is the mom or the dad, may try to use the Law to his or her advantage. If the Law were more equitable, such issues would not occur as often. During my divorce, I went to the library and read up on Family Law.

Part (1)Good evening everyone! Tonight, I am going to talk about a very sensitive topic: The Law! Is the Law or are the Laws fair to all parties involved in a divorce? This is a very difficult question to answer because it depends on the perspective of the parties involved. In other words, moms may feel a certain way about certain laws, whereas dads may feel differently about same.

Another interesting, yet very sad, aspect of divorce is GREED! Unfortunately, many people are driven by pure greed as opposed to principles or scruples! In other words, some people are more interested in how much money they are going to get from a divorce than Dr. Dreamernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018265129094792815.post-22074109031925547392007-04-03T13:45:00.000-07:002007-04-03T14:32:55.013-07:00Child Custody: Britney Spears&Kevin FederlineGood evening! I have talked before about Child Custody and how important it is during and after a divorce. I was just reading an interesting article about Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. Apparently they have been fighting over legal and physical custody of their two sons. This comes as no surprise, again, as a child is the most important thing out of a marriage!

What really happens when the divorce is final? All of a sudden, you will find that your life is totally different from what you once knew! If you work, you will no longer come home to a full house. If you did not work during the marriage, you will no longer be waiting for your spouse to come home.

I am currently having a big problem with one of kids in regards to school. My child's attitude is one of "so what?" when it comes to academics! Unfortunately, my child sees that my ex does not care about academics, and, therefore, thinks that this is OK!

Back to the impact of the in-laws on marriages, and divorces! One of the most important signs or flags to look for is rivalry between your in-laws and you. Sometimes it is initiated by one party or the other, or by a combination thereof. Usually this rivalry is negative in nature and fosters hard feelings which will, in turn, cause tension with the in-laws.

Here is a subject that is probably long overdue for me to discuss! The impact of "In-laws" is horrendous on a relationship, be it a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship or a marriage. If the In-laws are positive people, they may play a very nice role in bringing the couple together when they have problems or differences.

I know a Single Dad who works very hard all day, and after work, he works very hard taking care of his children. He is a very devoted Dad. After work, he picks up the kids from school. He helps them out with their homework. In fact, he is the type of Dad who spends the time to look at all the details pertaining to his children's homework.

On the first part of "single mom", I talked a little about "A". Tonight, I am going to fill you in on some new developments. One of the major problems, when a relationship ends, occurs when there are minor children involved.

Last time, I talked a little about "having things in common" and how important that is in a relationship whether it is while dating, or during a marriage.

During the difficult times of a divorce, you want to make sure to keep your focus on your kids. In essence, your kids should always come first. Try to shield the kids as much as you can. It is best if you can avoid arguing with your spouse in front of the kids, as this only hurts them.
