Handling the Drop Off of Children After a Divorce

Nov 08, 2013

 

Sometimes, men and women are more concerned about things, such as how they will exchange the children after a divorce, than the divorce itself. This may be the reason holding up a divorce, in some cases. Here are four neutral places that work great for dropping off and picking up the kids when it's time for an exchange.

A Public Park


Of course, one of the best places to exchange the children is in a public place. This type of location helps to limit the arguments between parents and in front of the kids. You won't need to worry about a ton of eye contact or interaction, if you choose a public park to exchange the kids.

On the other hand, the kids can go play while you and your former spouse discuss something important. This can give you the opportunity to discuss upcoming events, changes in what's going on with your kids and other important things.

School


Exchanging the kids through the school is the easiest way to deal with this awkward situation without any issues. Often, this is recommended when the divorce is still very fresh. You can drop them off for the day and your former spouse can pick them up. You don't have to see them or talk to them at all.

Fast Casual Type of Restaurant


If you schedule the pickup time properly, you can take your meal to go, while your former spouse eats with the kids. This gives your kids the opportunity to be occupied, while you make the exchange and there won't need to be any suffering through a meal or waiting on the check.

The Mall


A shopping mall provides a great place for an exchange because it's a neutral place. You can meet your ex, make the exchange and be on your way.

The key to the exchange is to keep the kids in mind. They need your protection and they don't need to see you and their other parent arguing.
