		<description><![CDATA[While the thought of trying to choose a psychotherapist might seem intimidating or even overwhelming, it is not as difficult as you think. If you have ever picked a date for the prom, a baby sitter for your children, or a car to purchase, then you already know you are able to make choices. That’s good news at least.  If you are considering a Massachusetts divorce or are in the middle of one, then you may want to consider adding a mental health professional to your support team.   If you do not think you would benefit from therapy, well according [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As if getting a Massachusetts divorce wasn&#8217;t already stressful, once you and your spouse decide that is where you are heading you need to talk to the children about the transitions ahead.   Talking with your kids about your divorce can be a sad and stressful conversation.  Many of our clients are anxious about this, yet with some planning it can go smoothly and you will be better prepared. Previously, I wrote a blogpost on Telling Your Kids About Your Divorce.  I had a lot of good feedback on this post from parents. Because this topic so frequently comes up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Stephen F. McDonough, Massachusetts Divorce Attorney &#38; Mediator at The Divorce Collaborative LLC.  I would also like to acknowledge two experienced and caring mental health practitioners that I frequently work with, Dr. Sandy Portnoy and Betsy Ross, LICSW, CGP. They provided insights about this topic during many  divorce mediation and collaborative divorce sessions. And you thought the birds and bees talk was going to be stressful. Telling your children about your divorce is a difficult conversation that parents dread. Basically, the key to speaking to your children about your divorce is the same as if you were painting a room [...]]]></description>

The last couple of months I have been working on some internal things at the firm, including updating forms and creating some new procedures to improve how we help our divorcing clients.  Getting the Bedford, MA office set up also took some time away from blogging. In November, I attended the MILOFEST (Macs in Law Offices)  Conference in Orlando for the 2nd year in a row. Attorney Victor Medina from the Princeton, NJ area did a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By guest-blogger Betsy Ross, MSW, Divorce Coach You probably wouldn’t go on vacation without first figuring out where you want to go, what you’ll need to pack, how long to be away,  and how to get there. Likewise, you wouldn’t buy a house without first considering the size of the house you’ll need, which neighborhoods would be suitable, what your budget is, etc. Just like preparing for a vacation or house hunting, it can be helpful to do some planning to better prepare for your Massachusetts divorce. So, before heading into the office of a skillful mediator, collaborative attorney or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spring has sprung in the Norfolk-Franklin-Medfield, Massachusetts area.   Easter will be here soon, the local overflowing rivers will return to their proper places, baseball season is only a few weeks away, and thoughts turn to improving our communication skills with our spouses or significant others. OK, I made the last part up.   As a divorce lawyer, mediator, and husband, I know a thing or two about spousal communications.  One thing I know is that my wife should really improve her skills in this area, as I am of course close to perfection.   Seriously though, communication between partners [...]]]></description>

Although that is great news for all of us, you may, however, be a little grumpy, yearning for warmer weather, and overworked  - oh wait, that&#8217;s me.  Nevermind. So why all this crazy talk? I was reading fellow Massachusetts divorce lawyer Nancy Van Tine&#8217;s blog, and she had an interesting post which I think all ya&#8217;ll should read.   (Please note, I have included the phrase &#8220;all y&#8217;all&#8221; as a shout out to fans of The Divorce Collaborative LLC in &#8211;  or from &#8211;  North Carolina).
