When Your Ex Badmouths You In Front of the Children

wpadmin November 21, 2017

It is a common occurrence for a parent or parents to badmouth one another in front of their children, which adds stress to everyone’s lives. You may have heard accusations or had your spouse try to talk through your children to get back at you, which is an unreasonable measure that many parents take out of jealousy or high tension. Because it is your job to protect your children, we will walk you through the do’s and don’ts when your child has heard badmouthing, and the legal response you should take.

Do’s and Don’ts 

When you find out that your ex has been badmouthing you, there are some things that you should do. For instance, you should always stay calm, as remaining calm will cause less stress for your children as well as prevent you from saying things you shouldn’t say. You can, however, gently correct the misinformation that was given to you by your children. You can also offer your child reassurance.

There are also some things you should never do in response. By retaliating, you are lowering yourself to your ex spouse’s level. You want to kindly but firmly address your child’s concerns as well as stray from saying something as equally damaging about your ex.

Legal Response 

In most cases, the judge in your case will use a preemptive action known as a parenting plan as a way to help during dispute resolution so that you don’t revisit the courtroom over and over again. If you establish a parenting plan together, both parents will be involved in the development of the child and determine what is important for their children. Together, you can work through these disputes as they come along.

If your divorce has hit the point where the badmouthing has gotten to an extreme level, you may want to speak with an experienced family law attorney today. We are willing to speak with you about your case and wish to offer our help to you. Call us for more information.

Beyond impressed! I had been self represented through years of family law and child support court hearings and was so hesitant to hire an attorney out of fear and trusting that they would appropriately represent myself and child. After tons of research I contacted Ms. Azizi. I immediately was greeted by Lorenzo, the Office Administrator, who made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. He assisted in making communication seamless and effortless and walked me through each step of the process. Ms. Azizi heard my concerns and was extremely sensitive to the matter of FAMILY. The team did an amazing job with discovery and building a strong case that gave me confidence and I was successful in coming to an agreement with the other party, in what has yet to have been the easiest hearing of all, thanks to them. Ms. Azizi settled my case after years of stress and agony. I am grateful for finding the team and Ms. Azizi and definitely recommend them for any of your legal needs!

This law firm is the best! They have helped me so much with my Divorce and Criminal cases and I really wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have them to represent me. Lorenzo and Ro are awesome and are there to help at all times. My attorney was Mr.Edmondson and he has been amazing. This law firm is truly great and I will never go to any other one. Their responses are quick and will answer any questions you might have.

Seven stars. I had planned to put up my reviews after my final judgment but after the first hearing, couldn't wait, and I would write this whatever the outcome of my difficult case. Soheila was simply amazing in her arguments and strategy before the judge. I felt so taken care of. I chose her for her near-30 years of experience as an attorney, the depth and strength I observed in one who had weathered hardship through her many accomplishments, her compassion, and her smarts. I can't imagine what other attorney would have Zoomed with me even in sickness to help prepare me for a legal session. And I later saw how keen she'd been in her advice. I've been deeply touched watching Soheila and her paralegal Lynda Walker fight for my child as if he were their own. They in particular have treated me with great humanity - day and night from what I experienced at my former attorney's. Lynda is a gem, on her toes, flexible, hard-working, committed to each client, humble, and sweet. She has slaved over my case, doing much of the writing, watchful of me on paper and in person, guiding me gently while encouraging me to use my voice. The staff, including the office administrator Lorenzo and Linda C, is caring, respectful, and conscientious. A band of angels.
