Help for Children Dealing with Military Divorce

Military families possibly make more sacrifices than almost any other segment of the nation’s population. The children of these parents may experience even more confusion when their parents are facing a military divorce simply because they may already feel disconnected from other family members, especially if they have moved frequently due to base transfers. However, there may be some help for these children coming to one of the installations in Utah. It is important to keep in mind, though, that no one program can help resolve all of the issues involved in a divorce.

Through an outreach of the Sesame Street organization, along with a partnership with the USO, the popular children’s characters are touring several of the bases throughout the nation over the next year or so. The program was put together to reach out to the children of the armed forces. Many of the well-loved characters are being used in a new production that features a girl character that is learning to cope with the issues that many of these children face.

One of the topics that the Cookie Monster crowd will address is divorce in the military family. While children in the civilian population also experience this life change, the ones in the military may feel more isolated simply because they often move around and may not have close ties to extended family. The Sesame Workshop attempts to help these children develop coping skills that can enable them to deal with these situations in healthy ways.

In addition to traveling around the country to visit the children where they are, the program is free. There may be many base families that will attend these workshops that help children develop the tools to handle issues such as a military divorce with a positive approach. The decision to file for a divorce is most likely not entered into without careful consideration for all of the ways life will change, both for the couple and their offspring. Now, for some of the military families in Utah, there may be some help for the younger children in the form of beloved characters that may help them with the transitions that follow divorce. There are also resources available that parents may turn to for information concerning how to settle all of the matters that are part and parcel of a family break-up.

When I started my case with Brown Family Law, they had 650 positive reviews. Now, about a year later, they have 820. Not sure how much else you need to convince you, but do yourself a favor and stop looking. You're in the right place.We worked with Nathaniel for nearly a year on our case, and trusting someone with something so vulnerable and close to you as a custody case is difficult, but he made it easy. His knowledge of law and experience with the court system allowed us to make educated decisions quicker. He helped me feel confident in very unfamiliar territory, and having someone like Nate on my team allowed me to make the best decisions possible for our family. He thought of many things I didn't, and gave us the roadmap to success for navigating a complicated and stressful situation. I found myself constantly bragging about our lawyer to family and expressing how impressed I was in his skill and his fearless nature of getting sh** done. Nate got that dawg in him, yanno what I mean?I like the way Brown Family Law works with their clients; it's different than other law firms, and I can see the benefits of those differences. It's always easy to contact someone at the office, and I get a response very quickly. They are extremely communicative, fast, and thorough. They run a tight ship, and it's obvious the quality differences from other law firms.This is a big and heavy decision, but Brown Family Law will take a lot of that weight off your shoulders. Ask for Nate--you won't be led astray.

Response from the owner: Christie, thank you. So glad Nathaniel was able to help you and that we were able to communicate with you so quickly.

Karl Bench

I can't say enough about Russell Yauney at Brown Family Law! He has helped me on multiple cases over the years and has always exceeded my expectations. Russell is one of the good guys who isn't afraid to tell you how it is and isn't afraid to stand up and fight for what is right. I'm glad that I have Russell and his team in my corner!

Response from the owner: Karl, glad Russell served you well.

Ryan Farrell

very helpful to fathers who have been broke by the system and targeted for vaporization(1984). Thank you brown family law.

Response from the owner: You're welcome, Ryan. And thank you for the kind words.

Samantha Lachowsky

Nathaniel was my attorney and I couldn't ask for someone more attentive and level-headed than he is. They made my divorce process so much easier and were very patient with me as I navigated the entire process. Thank you Brown Family Law for all of your help!

Response from the owner: Samantha, thank you and so glad Nathaniel did such a good job for you.

Danny Fenstermaker

Used Nathaniel Garrabrandt for a child custody case. He is very good, very professional and available. Having been through this a few times that communication is very important. The only warning, and this isnt just Nate per se, but very very costly.

Response from the owner: Danny, thank you for recommendation. Glad Nathaniel has been able to help you.
