Haven’t we all heard that even if you divorce your spouse, “you’ll always have a connection to your children.” This statement is especially true during special occasions in your children’s lives, including graduation (whether they be for middle school, high school, college, or grad school). Tensions may be high between you and your former spouse. However, coming together to support your graduating child will probably mean a lot to your child, especially if you two are civil during the ceremony.
In this excellent article, Charles D. Jamieson writes that the key to remaining civil is preparing yourself for the graduation, remembering above all you are there for your child and your child alone (graduation is about them not you.)
Attorney Jamieson offers a number of important do’s and don’ts.
