    102: How to Tell Kids about Divorce: with Parenting Expert Christina McGhee

    In this episode, host Krista Nash sits down with parenting expert, author, and coach Christina McGhee to tackle one of the most difficult moments in divorce: telling your children. Christina, who has spent over two decades helping families navigate separation, shares compassionate, practical guidance for parents who want to put their children first during this life-altering conversation. Together, Krista and Christina explore the emotional weight parents carry and the common mistakes that can undermine a child’s sense of security. Christina emphasizes the importance of clarity, preparation, and unified messaging, reminding parents that while the marriage may be ending, parenting is not. She introduces strategies such as framing divorce as a change rather than an ending, using age-appropriate language, and avoiding over-sharing or placing emotional burdens on children. Listeners will also hear insights into how children of different ages process divorce, the dangers of using children as confidants, and the long-term impact of blurred boundaries. Christina offers practical tools for ensuring children feel a sense of belonging in both homes and encourages ongoing dialogue rather than a “one and done” conversation. In this episode, you will hear: Divorce doesn’t end parenting—it changes how you parent. Always use clear, age-appropriate language, including the word “divorce.” Never make your child a confidant or emotional caretaker. Prepare and plan the conversation instead of “winging it.” Make it an ongoing dialogue, not a one-time event.

    101: Introducing a New Partner To Your Children After Divorce

    New romantic partners after divorce can feel like hope for parents and yet another upheaval for kids. We explore how children actually experience a parent's dating life, drawing on long-term research about stepfamilies, loyalty conflicts, and the impact of repeated relationship changes. Listeners learn why stable, slower-paced introductions matter, how age shapes a child's reaction, and why one-on-one time with each parent remains essential.  Krista lays out a clear ladder-style framework for introducing a partner, from first conversations with your co-parent and kids, to brief neutral meetings, to carefully timed overnights and cohabitation. We also look at Colorado law on parenting plans, morality clauses, and what courts really require before limiting parenting time because of a new partner.  Throughout, Krista offers guidance for both the dating parent and the non-dating parent so families can reduce conflict, protect children, and build steadier blended family relationships. Listeners leave with clear, concrete steps. In this episode, you will hear: How kids actually experience a parent’s new romantic partner as another big change Research on stepfamilies, loyalty binds, and the impact of repeated partner turnover Age-specific guidance for toddlers, school-age kids, and teens on introductions Step-by-step “ladder” for timing, first meetings, overnights, and moving in together The healthy role of a new partner connection before correction and staying out of discipline Colorado law on parenting plans, morality clauses, and when a new partner becomes a legal issue Resources from this Episode www.childrenfirstfamilylaw.com All states have different laws; be sure you are checking out your state laws specifically surrounding divorce.

    100: Parallel Parenting — Two Train Tracks, One Child

    Divorce may end a marriage, but it does not end the responsibility to raise a child together. We explore what parallel parenting really means when cooperative co-parenting feels impossible. Krista reframes parallel parenting as a way to reduce unnecessary conflict while still sharing essential information and supporting one child moving between two homes. We look at how chronic conflict harms kids, what children actually notice and internalize, and the subtle ways loyalty binds show up. Krista walks through strategies for calmer, businesslike communication, using parenting apps, structuring exchanges to protect children from tension, and drafting specific, child-centered parenting plans. We also touch on when added support can help, and how safety concerns and domestic violence change the analysis. In this episode, you will hear: What parallel parenting is and what it is not The “two train tracks, one train” analogy for co-parenting after divorce How chronic conflict and loyalty binds impact children Strategies for low-drama, businesslike communication between parents Using parenting apps, shared calendars, and detailed parenting plans Structuring exchanges and events to reduce stress on kids When parenting coordinators, decision makers, or safety-focused plans are needed Resources from this Episode www.childrenfirstfamilylaw.com All states have different laws; be sure you are checking out your state laws specifically surrounding divorce.

    099: The Surprisingly Simple Tool That Helps Kids Through Divorce with Dr. Karey O’Hara

    Krista Nash welcomes back Dr. Karey O'Hara for this episode, following up on research first introduced on an earlier visit to the podcast. Parents going through separation or divorce are often told that conflict is bad for their kids, but Karey, a psychologist and researcher at Arizona State University, explains why that message misses the point. Karey and her team spent years studying children ages nine to twelve living through high conflict divorce, testing which coping strategies actually help and whether combining several works better than relying on one alone. The results surprised even the research team. One simple strategy, relaxation, outperformed the rest. Karey walks through what happens in a child's body during parental conflict, what parents should avoid doing in those moments, and how a free program from her lab lets families put the findings into practice right away. It's a hopeful, practical conversation for any parent trying to protect their kids amid conflict they can't control. In this episode, you will hear: Why the "conflict is bad for kids" message actually sets parents up to fail What Dr. Karey O'Hara's research found about kids coping with high conflict divorce The one strategy that outperformed every other coping tool tested What actually happens in a child's brain and body during parental conflict Simple moves parents can make in the moment to help kids reset How destructive conflict differs from conflict kids can learn from A free program families can start using today, straight from the research Resources from this Episode Sign up to take/use the resources discussed on the podcast:  www.asuyfacslab.org/brainteam https://search.asu.edu/profile/3192762 www.childrenfirstfamilylaw.com All states have different laws; be sure you are checking out your state laws specifically surrounding divorce.

    098: When You’re Raising Someone Else’s Child: Guardianship, Custody & Getting Legal Authority

    Krista Nash sits down with Colorado attorney Lisa Shellenberger, managing partner at Setter Roche Smith & Shellenberger, to talk through a corner of family law most parents never see coming until they're standing in it. When a parent dies, disappears into addiction, or simply can't provide safe care, the person left holding things together is rarely equipped for what comes next. Krista and Lisa unpack the real difference between guardianship and custody, why probate court can move faster than domestic court, and what happens when a parent gets back on their feet and wants their child returned. They also cover the constitutional rights every parent holds and how families can put protections in place before a crisis forces their hand. It's a conversation built for anyone quietly raising a child who isn't legally theirs yet. In this episode, you will hear: Why guardianship and custody solve two completely different legal problems for kids The 182 day rule that determines who has standing to file for custody as a non-parent How probate court can move faster than family court in a genuine crisis What it actually takes to prove a parent is unable or unwilling to safely parent The constitutional rights every parent holds, even in a guardianship case What happens to a guardian's authority the moment a parent gets better Practical steps families can take now, before a crisis forces their hand Resources from this Episode www.childrenfirstfamilylaw.com All states have different laws; be sure you are checking out your state laws specifically surrounding divorce.
