Domestic abuse is a pattern of controlling behaviors, violence, or threats of violence, that one person uses to establish power over an intimate partner or family member in order to control that person’s actions and activities.
Abusive relationships usually don’t start out that way, often violent and abusive behavior develops over time. Knowing the warning signs of an abusive relationship can help you identify and protect yourself from a potentially dangerous relationship.
Family dynamics can make the holidays stressful, but divorce adds a whole other layer to the drama. One of the best ways to keep the peace is to prioritize how your children will enjoy the holiday. Not only will that keep things as normal as possible for them, but it might even help you keep that childlike wonder that might be lost in the stressors of a separation.
No matter the circumstances, having a parent pass away is an emotionally challenging time for the whole family.

Children of divorced parents can have a particularly difficult time coping when one of them passes away.
Regardless of what your feelings toward your ex were, it’s important to be supportive of children who are experiencing extreme emotions after the death of their parent. In order to offer the best emotional support for your family, it’s important to know the logistics of what happens after a parent dies. We’ve compiled a list of the most important things to know to get you started.
Sometimes marriages just don’t work out. If you want to end your marriage in Florida, you either need to get divorced or in some cases get an annulment. Annulments in Florida are not easy to get and require the marriage to be considered void.
