August 16 — 21 by Anne Kauffman, Matthew Maher, Caitlin Miller, Jennifer R. Morris, Janice Paran, and Robbie Collier Sublett conceived by Jennifer R. Morris directed by Anne Kauffman Crafted from interviews between the cast and their own parents, You Better Sit Down is an alternately heartbreaking and hilarious look at the stories behind the statistics of one of the most prominent social phenomena of our time. Shockingly candid, these delicate parent-child conversations, with the actors playing their own parents, yield unique insights into falling in love, falling out of love, and rebuilding a life after the complex experience of dividing a family. The Civilians, a New York-based theater company, creates original work derived from investigations into the world beyond the theater.

The Place of Refuge
Posted on 03. Sep, 2011 by Young Parents Guide.
This documentary will be filmed in Hawaii using the dolphins as a metaphor for parents who protect their children as the dolphins do, in combination with energy psychology for the healing of the pain of divorce. Parents will learn how to protect their children emotionally and be sensitive to their needs during this difficult time by not engaging in behaviors that are particularly harmful to their children. The audience will follow five parents who are attending a parenting class that features dolphin swims for divorcing parents and help in overcoming the negative attitudes and behaviors that are so hurtful to their children. Clips of the earlier class will be interspersed with the energy psychology to help these parents with their pain, make the behavioral changes based on what they have learned and help them see possibilities for a new life. At the film’s end, parents will be directed to a website where there will be classes for divorcing and single parents and also to a Place of Refuge to be established in centers across the US This film will be the first step in helping parents become more conscious of how their divorce is affecting their kids and what they can do to achieve the best possible outcome. www.makingtheworldabetterplace.us

Do Divorced Parents Get and Equal Number of Days with the Children
Posted on 10. Aug, 2011 by Young Parents Guide.
Every case is different. That’s why the law now clearly states, at Florida Statute Section 61.13 (2)(c)(1), “There is no presumption for or against the father or mother of the child or for or against any specific time sharing schedule when creating or modifying the parenting plan of the child.” Given the children’s ages, schedules, and levels of development, for example, as well as the parents’ own schedules and issues, the court looks at the particulars of the given case before preparing a parenting plan. It is important to note that as hard as the court will try to fashion a good parenting plan, it is usually presumed that the parents can do a better job than the court because the parents know the situation better than anyone. That is why, in most cases, the parents create their own plan, either on their own, or with the help of a mediator or other neutral third party.
