STUPID PARENT TRICKS
The Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers recently surveyed its membership to find out what the
biggest mistakes divorcing couples with children make. Here are the results:
Putting your spouse down in front of your children is the biggest mistake you can make during and
after the divorce, followed closely by using your kids as messengers and interfering with visitation.
These were some of the findings of a recent survey of some of the top divorce and family law
attorneys in America.
In order of frequency, the biggest mistakes parents make are:
1. Denigrating the other spouse.
2. Using the child as a messenger.
3. Interfering with visitation rights.
4. Sharing intimate details of the other spouse’s infidelity, behavior, etc.
5. Failing to pay support/adequately supporting the children.
6. Immediately introducing the children to the parents new love interest.
7. Moving the child as far away as possible from the other parent.
8. Listening to the child’s conversations with the other parent.
9. Having the child read all the legal pleadings or having them contact the lawyer.
10. Having the child request money from the other spouse.
