While everyone can make this decision on their own and there’s no legal obligation to tell any other individuals about the divorce, parents may find that there are some key benefits to telling the child’s teacher. In many ways, this can be very helpful for both the child and the staff at school.
For one thing, schools are very careful about who picks up the children at the end of the day to ensure that they’re safe. If the divorce is going to change the schedule or if someone else – such as a grandparent – is going to be authorized to pick up the children, the school needs to know.
It’s also worth noting that divorce can sometimes have an impact on a child’s performance in the classroom. It could also affect their emotional ability to get along with other students. Parents do not have to tell the child’s teacher about what’s happening at home, but letting them know can sometimes help the teacher anticipate these changes and react to them effectively.
After all, teachers are often a source of support for children if they need someone to talk to. An informed teacher may be very helpful for a child.
As you can see, there are a lot of things to consider in divorce that go well beyond child custody or dividing marital assets. Be sure you know about all of your legal options and your obligations.
]]>Here is what to know about this divorce option:
To file for a no-fault divorce, either you or your spouse must have lived in New Jersey for 12 consecutive months before filing. At least one of you has to say that you have experienced irreconcilable differences for at least six months and is sure there is no way to make the marriage work. So you can file even if your spouse does not agree.
A no-fault divorce offers several benefits. Firstly, it's easier and quicker, as you don't need to provide proof for any grounds. All you need to state is you and your spouse have irreconcilable differences that can't be reconciled. And since it takes less time, it's less expensive – you won't spend as much on court costs, attorney fees and so on.
Additionally, no-fault divorce offers privacy, as you don't need to specify why you are getting the divorce. This may not be the case in fault divorces where couples publicly testify about their grounds for filing, which can be adultery, extreme cruelty, incarceration for an extended period and so on.
No-fault divorce is more affordable and quicker and it involves less conflict. If you meet its requirements, you can file for it. Seek legal help to understand your case in-depth and make informed decisions from the word go.
