The Divorce and Beyond® Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq.
Education:Self-Improvement
In this episode, Parenting Expert, Christina McGhee returns to talk with Susan Guthrie about all of the things that parents need to consider in order to create a parenting plan that truly works for the children.
So often when parents sit down to figure out the parenting plan they pull out a calendar and start carving up the time with the kids as if it were another commodity like the bank accounts and debts. In fact, although the amount of time that children spend with each parent needs to be "equitable" it doesn't need to be 50/50. In fact, 50/50 rarely actually does (or should) exist. Find out what the most important considerations actually are for parents who are setting up a time-sharing plan with their children and what will make it successful for the kids.
LISTENER QUESTION: Christina starts the episode by answering the following question from listener, Kim Cuizon about how conflict between parents affects the kids: "How about when parents don't talk at all but at the same time there are no conflicts? They're not close enough as friends but are civil during drop offs. Will this kind of apathetic relationship have lasting effects on the kids?" GREAT QUESTION AND A VERY COMMON PHENOMENA! What to know the answer? Listen in!

For More Information on This Week's Special Guest: Christina McGhee is a speaker and divorce parenting expert who believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. While splitting up is undeniably hard, with the right kind of information and support, she thinks parents can be children's absolute best resource as life changes.
As a coach with 20+ years of experience, Christina is dedicated to providing parents with the tools and practical support they need to get it right for their kids. She is also the author of the highly acclaimed book, Parenting Apart: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids.
As a child of divorce and as a bonus mom (aka step-mom), Christina gets plenty of opportunities to practice what she preaches. Together she and her husband have four “adultish” children (2 bonus, 2 bio), an ever-growing community of rescue dogs/cats, and an obscene number of chickens.

The film Split: A Divorce Survival Guide for Kids (and their Parents) can be viewed here: https://www.brunofilms.com/split.
Split is a deeply personal film made in collaboration with children aged 6-12, exploring the often frightening and always life altering separation of their parents.
Split gives us the children's perspective on divorce... no adults, no experts… just kids speaking the powerful truth of what is on their minds and in their hearts. Their wisdom, candor, and humor will give courage to other children, and encourage parents to make better choices as they move through divorce.
