Planning for a Child with Special Needs in Divorce

WINCHESTER, Mass. - Sept. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Finding a fair and equitable agreement when parties are divorcing is often a challenge. When parents of a child with special needs separate and divorce, the challenge is magnified. Based upon both our personal and professional experience, it is critical to bring parents into agreement on a plan that does not take sides, but focuses on representing the needs of their child.

This means planning for families with unique sets of circumstances. We can help.

Based upon our understanding of the obstacles children with special needs may have in growing up, we can describe and define the needs of the child.
Based upon the child’s unique situation, we can quantify the amount of financial support necessary to meet these needs, for the short- and long-term.
We will connecting parents, when interested, with various agencies that provide support services.
We inform parents about available government programs.

Importantly, we not only define the need but can work with the parties to realistically plan and make it achievable.

We welcome an opportunity to discuss how our services can help in cases of divorce  and provide the best plan for a child’s lifetime supports.  As a basic resource not customized for families of individuals with special needs, download the pre-divorce checklist below.
