Parenting For Divorcing & Divorced Moms & Dads: Basic Informationn You Need To Know

In many areas of the United States, parents who were never married, those who are separated, divorcing or involved in paternity actions and they have minor children, are required to take a 4-hour parenting education course before their legal actions can be finalized. Parenting courses provide important information regarding how the lives of adults and children could change when families break up. Through these courses, parents also learn about their expected roles and their responsibilities as separated or divorced co-parents, and they are empowered with steps that they can take, which could lessen the pain and the trauma that is too often a reality, especially for children, following divorce. This book provides parents of minor children, with basic information that they need to have before they take the final step towards ending their marriage. It is available with full color (FC) and black and white interiors. The author, Dr. Percy Ricketts, has been a Psychotherapist and Parenting Consultant for almost two decades.
