Videos for Clients with Children

(fee to watch)

These videos give parents 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 as their families change. Their wisdom, candor, and humor give courage to other children and encourage parents to make better choices as they move through divorce.

SPLIT: The TEEN Years is a follow-up on the stories of the children in the SPLIT: The EARLY Years film.
