WHAT TO DO WHEN DIVORCE IN JAMAICA IS IMMINENT?
CONSIDER THE KIDS IMAGE
Develop a Strategy Ahead of Time
Unless children are very young, they are quite perceptive and may have an inkling that things are not good between mom and dad. This doesn’t mean that you can just drop a divorce bomb on them willy-nilly when you feel like it.
To minimize the emotional trauma which will probably be significant, you and your spouse need to have a strategy in place ahead of time.
If possible, try to tell the kids together. At a time when a family is breaking apart, this is one area when there can still be reassurances that a certain degree of unity will remain. Plan a time to tell the children all at the same time. After the fact it may be necessary to spend some one-on-one time alone with each child, but initially, break the news to everyone at the same time. This will avoid any burden of those who know having to keep the ‘secret’ from those who don’t know yet.
