The attorneys of the law firm Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. know that divorce can have a devastating emotional and financial toll on everyone it touches. Sadly, many of our neighbors and friends are facing the realities of divorce. It is an unfortunate truth that the innocent children of the parties often suffer several unintentional side effects resulting from the proceedings. Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. lawyers are committed to protecting all of their client’s interests including the welfare of their children.

On Friday, June 20, 2008, Oprah will rebroadcast an interview with M. Gary Neuman, author of Helping Your Kids Cope with Divorce the Sandcastles Way. A licensed psychotherapist and rabbi, Dr. Neuman has encountered many difficult divorces over his long and distinguished career. He is the founder of Sandcastles Program, a program dedicated to helping children understand and cope with the realities of divorce. He also serves as the program’s director. The program has had such a great deal of success that many communities have adopted it and require parents to allow their children to participate before the courts will grant a divorce.

Dr. Neuman’s program places a strong emphasis on communication between the parents and their children. For example, when a child hears one parent talking negatively about the other, it may lead to the child being unsure if he or she can express love for both. The Sandcastles Program is designed to teach children to express their emotions in a healthy way, and learn problem solving skills. It also teaches them to understand the divorce process.

Clearly a person involved in a divorce proceeding will need legal assistance. The best lawyers serve their clients, not only in court, but as an advisor. This important and informative program will help you to better understand the unique problems that a child may face during their parent’s divorce.
