Why This Is A No-No

We’ve all heard the advice: “Don’t speak poorly about your ex in front of your child.” But why does it matter so much?

In this video, Tara, our Client Coach at Atticus Family Law, explains that when you criticize your child’s other parent, you’re not just venting—you may be unintentionally harming your child.

Keeping this in mind can help protect your child’s emotional well-being as you navigate a difficult transition.
