Episode Overview
## How can you protect your children during a divorce?
In Part 4 of the Happily Ever After Divorce series, Georgia family law attorney Jarrod Oxendine explains why the most costly mistakes in divorce often have nothing to do with money, they involve your children. While emotions run high during separation, every decision you make can have a lasting impact on your child's emotional well-being and your relationship with them.
Jarrod discusses why children should never be used as leverage, messengers, or bargaining chips during divorce. He explains Georgia's "best interest of the child" standard, the difference between legal custody and physical custody, and why creating a detailed parenting plan can prevent years of unnecessary conflict. Most importantly, he shares practical guidance for helping children feel safe, supported, and loved throughout the transition
