In today’s episode, divorce coach and family law attorney Zeppy Attashian explains how unpredictable and stressful circumstances (such as COVID-19) can affect your divorce and custody agreements. 

At this point in time, courts are scaling back and only hearing urgent family law cases. We seek to provide you with an action plan, as your hearing or trial dates may be put off for an unknown period of time. 

Zeppy provides strategies for remaining child-focused as a family unit, how to discuss conducting exchanges, as well as how financial support requirements will be affected at this time.

No court order will make arrangements for every possible circumstance your family will face. Here at Decoding Divorce, we encourage you to maintain open communication with the other parent if possible and use this extra time to explore alternate avenues for pursuing your divorce.
