All parents, whether separated, in the midst of a separation, or in an intact family want to protect their children and secure their finances during this global pandemic and economic downturn. You may be wondering what is the best way to accomplish this in the face of constantly changing circumstances.

Especially during a time of crisis, the best interest of the children must remain paramount. Parents who are good at working together, and not so good at working together, must come together to provide comfort, assurance, and consistency for their children during a crisis. This is especially true during this crisis, where the entire schedule and world of the children have changed. Children are no longer in school; no longer in childcare; not maintaining their usual schedule; not seeing their friends; and seeing their parent or parents’ home all the time instead of going to work or other activities.
