Ask Brette

Dealing with the breakup of your marriage is hard enough, but it can be overwhelming trying to understand all the legal issues that come up.  The decisions that you make during your divorce can affect you for a long time, so you need a reliable source of information that answers your questions about divorce.  You can now ask Brette your questions about the divorce process.

Featured Question 

My husband has been out of our apartment for about two months and sees our son a few times a week but does not have him over night. My son has been not sleeping well and has regressed to wanting to be held until he falls asleep. My husband says that is because he is two and playing me? I think it is because he is afraid I will leave too. Can a two year old be affected by this situation?  

Brette's Answer: It is very likely this is related to the divorce. It is quite common for children to react in ways like this, with regression being a common problem. Be patient with your son, give him love, keep things normal, and be positive about the time he spends with his father. If you are still concerned, talk with your pediatrician. It's likely your son will adjust in his own time.
