Navigating the aftermath of a divorce can feel like charting a course through stormy seas, especially when children are on board. That's why we invited Jordana Wolfson, co-founder of Co-Parenting Solutions LLC, onto the Wealthy After Divorce podcast. Her unique insights, born from a tapestry of personal experiences as a child of divorce, a divorced parent, and a former school principal, shed light on the art of constructing parenting plans that truly anchor the family post-separation. Delve into the essential components of these plans, and discover how to sidestep common pitfalls that threaten the peace and emotional well-being of your children.
