Family Law Experts Praise KidsFirst!

See what well-known family law attorneys, therapists, and other experts in family law say about how using KidsFirst! can protect children and family during separation and divorce. Parents who care about their children use KidsFirst! because it provides separating and divorcing parents step-by-step legal guidance to work through the legal process, protecting children against the effects of divorce.

W. Ross Foote, Retired Domestic Law Judge, Alexandra, LA
During my thirteen years as a domestic law judge I saw parents enter the divorce process without any idea that fighting will negatively impact their children, perhaps for life. I have been amazed that parents do not understand their childrens’ needs and, if they do understand, it may not be until the last minute. KidsFirst! gives parents comprehensive guidance from the very beginning with self-guided diagnostic tools to minimize the impact on children. It really helps parents put kids first!

Dr. Margaret Lee, Marriage and Family Psychotherapist, Greenbrae, CA
I have been a court special master, child custody evaluator, child custody mediator, psychologist, CASA expert, and mother for over twenty years. Parents who collaboratively parent after a divorce are most successful in meeting the difficult challenges presented by divorce. KidsFirst! is a very useful and informative road map for divorcing parents that helps keep the focus on childrens needs, collaborative effort and moving towards improved co-parenting

Dr. Marion Marioni, Marriage and Family Psychotherapist, Sonoma, CA
As a marriage and family psychologist, nurse and single mother of four children, I especially appreciate how KidsFirst! can help protect a childs mental and physical health. KidsFirst! makes it easy for parents to work together because parenting guidance, tips and ideas are available anytime. Child support is often a major sticking point so the KidsFirst! child support calculator helps both sides see what the judge will decide. Whenever appropriate, I will recommend KidsFirst! to my clients to save them hassle and heartache of a costly custody battle.

Julianne Jensen, Family Law Mediator and Attorney, San Francisco, CA
I reviewed KidsFirst! from the perspective of a family law mediator and a family law attorney and I concluded that this collaborative approach could help reduce the misunderstandings and confusion that are faced by separating or divorced parents. KidsFirst! is a helpful resource to educate parents and help them create a detailed child custody agreement and parenting plan.
