Collaborative Divorce Law of the Palm Beaches

Online Safety for Kids - New Browser

Keeping kids safe online should be a priority for all parents, not just divorced parents. How to do it just became easier with KidZui, a special web browser that contains only kid-safe content. The basic version is free, and includes a core of features for both children and their justifiably worried parents.

When KidZui launched in March 2008, the list of approved content included around 500,000 sites. Eight months on, that's now expanded to more than a million pieces of content, with 50 editors still contracted to review new material and purge links that have changed or are dead. KidZui allows only the pre-approved content so your kids cannot go to any sites accidentally.

Sometimes It's Tempting...

Collaborative or not, divorce is emotional business. When you are annoyed with your spouse, it can be tempting to bad mouth them to others. Resist the urge. It can be difficult to do, especially if others are willing to goad you on. The video below discusses this issue and why you should avoid it.

The legal consequences of bad mouthing the other parent can be severe under the new best interest of the child factors in Florida law. One of the clear points of the new factors is to get the children out of the middle. Bad mouthing the other parent can be used against you when deciding parental responsibility and timesharing schedules.

Protect Democracy - Go Vote!

We have had record-breaking early voting numbers here in Palm Beach County. More than half the number who voted in the last general election have already voted!! That still leaves about 400,000 voters for Election Day.

Nobody knows the effect of all the early voting on the lines tomorrow. The best advice is - be prepared to wait in line on Election Day. Bring a chair, water, umbrella and something to read.

If you still don't know where your precinct poll is located, check out last post for election information.

If you want additional ideas on how to help, check this post by fellow blogger and Obama volunteer lawyer Victoria Pynchon.

It's your right.
It's your duty.
Go vote!
