Get Your Life Organized After Divorce

As moms, we all want the same thing when it comes to divorce - a good one, if there even is such a thing.

Co-parenting a child with special needs take a little extra care and attention, and so does making sure your divorce papers and parenting plan reflect that.

The divorce process may seem scary, but top Tampa family law attorney Seth Nelson of Nelson Koster Family Law and Mediation is sharing his tips for how to make an otherwise unhappy process much less dramatic.

<p>Getting divorced is hard, no doubt, but no ever tells you about how it might feel when you or your ex spouse introduce your children to a new romantic partner. There are questions, lots of them, and you'll want to know just how to answer those - especially if things don't go as planned.</p> <p>That's why I brought Evelyn Mendal, early childhood expert, back to the podcast - no one answers these tough questions quite like her. And in the process, she'll make <em><strong>you</strong></em> feel better, too.</p> <p>Evelyn is the founder of <a href="https://www.hatchandbloom.co/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hatch &amp; Bloom</a>, the company she founded to be able to help parents through their children's earliest stages of life. She offers 1:1 sessions, group sessions, and workshops/webinars that will make you feel like you aren't totally messing up this whole parenting thing.</p>

It's the first question on every divorcing woman's mind: Should I change my name after divorce? While this is an extremely personal decision, the truth is, if you do go ahead and decide to drop your ex's last name, doing so has traditionally been such a hassle.  Until Hitchswitch. Hitchswitch makes changing your name after divorce as easy as clicking on the website, filling out a few forms, paying a very low fee, and voila - name changed, without having to wait in line for hours at the social security office downtown. What's more? They can do the same for your passport too - talk about a win, win! Here are the details... Since the founding of HitchSwitch, the team has had the pleasure of guiding hundreds of thousands of newlyweds through the name change process.

<p>The second we can shift our perspectives from how much our first marriages hurt us to how much we learned from them instead, a whole new world opens up for us divorced women. This is the trick that Karen Stanley, author of Becoming Mrs. Stanley, harnessed back when her first marriage ended, and now she's teaching women all over the world how to use their exes as their greatest teachers.</p> <p>Karen Stanley is an entrepreneur, professional Mezzo-Soprano, speaker, blogger, yogi, hiker, mom, wife and laugh-way-too-loud-er. As Amazon’s #1 mate seeking, new release author and frequent self-improvement podcast guest, she explains it best herself: “Hi, I’m Karen! I’m not a doctor or a psychologist. I was a single mom for a thousand years (OK, eight), and I finally attracted real love after divorce, bankruptcy, foreclosure and repossession of my car – all while raising two kids alone. After struggling with self-worth and attracting the wrong partner time and time again, I realized if you want to create the life and relationships you’ve always wanted, you must become the person you’ve always wanted to be. As I continued to create and believe my worth, people who didn’t enhance my life were no longer interesting, and I was no longer attracted to them. And, I wasn’t attracting them either. I believe no matter what we’ve gone through, everything we truly want in life is created by first loving and believing in the girl in the mirror. And now I’m sharing the strategies that helped me do that!” She writes a weekly blog on MrsKarenStanley.com and has a weekly-ish newsletter, and you can find her on Instagram @officialmrskarenstanley.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>Here are the links to snag her book!</p> <p>https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Mrs-Stanley-Single-Attracting/dp/198222683</p> <p>https://www.audible.com/pd/Becoming-Mrs-Stanley-Audiobook/B093JTCWTF</p> <p>https://books.apple.com/us/book/becoming-mrs-stanley/id1516654591</p>
