FAQ
Help with specific situations
Typically DFN is asked to supply answers to problems that have been created. That is "help me correct this situation." We feel we can do more by offering these suggestions as ways to avoid problems.
a. Take the lead. Learn how divorce works both emotionally and practically. Understand the family law process. Learn NEW negotiating techniques. Take ongoing communication courses, such as conflict resolution/mediation.
b. Never get behind in child support. If you are labeled "Deadbeat Dad," even if the title does not apply to you, no one will give you the time of day.
c. Do all you can to avoid a restraining order. They are easy to acquire and many women have them attached to their former spouses as a means to manipulate the court. For twenty five dollars a mother can get assistance in filing a restraining order. Judges almost never deny them. To avoid a restraining order limit contact with the former spouse and protect yourself at all times.
