Emotional Trauma

They may witness emotional or physical abuse, causing trauma that can heavily impact their development. In such cases, changing a child’s environment & removing them from this situation is vital. A trusted attorney can aid in a separation and any necessary protective orders to keep children safe.
Separation Decreases Stress
Hiring an attorney in Tulsa to begin the process of dividing finances, possessions, and to work on agreements regarding the children can decrease stress exponentially. An attorney can help negotiate with a separated partner’s counsel until a mutual agreement can be reached in the children’s best interest.
