When working with fathers entering into a divorce or who have recently divorced, there is a 5-step process through which I assist them in identifying and implementing an action plan for their lives. Throughout this Dads’ Guide to Divorce series, I will be sharing this specific process with detailed ways in which you can utilize it in order to achieve an amazing life for you and your children.
The final step in the “Dads Guide To Divorce” is Step 5: Master Your Psychology. I will admit that this is and has been the most challenging step for me and many men with whom I work. While each of us is blessed with our magnificent minds they can also be a challenge in the sense that much of what we think and our resulting behaviors are imagined and have been hardwired into us without our awareness. This is where it is critical to becoming mindful of our thoughts.

David Pissarro, attorney and founder of Union of Dads, shares powerful insights on navigating custody battles, challenging family court biases, and fighting for father's rights. Through his 26 years of legal experience and personal advocacy, David provides essential strategies for dads facing the often unfair family court system.
• Family courts often favor mothers despite laws being theoretically gender-neutral
• Mothers frequently enter court with extensive documentation while fathers are unprepared
• Court-appointed "experts" may be part of a cottage industry that lacks true impartiality
• High-conflict cases often involve personality disorders that judges aren't trained to identify
• Preparing for custody battles requires treating it like going to war with a strategic battle plan
• The presumption of 50/50 custody should be the starting point in all states
• Custody battles have generational impacts when children lose connections with their fathers
• Fathers must document everything and demonstrate specific involvement beyond saying "I'm a good dad"
• Domestic violence laws often used as weapons need significant reform
• Dad's Law School offers resources to help fathers represent themselves effectively in court

Check out DadsLawSchool.com to learn about upcoming Badass Boot Camps to prepare for court.

In this episode, we’re diving into a sensitive but crucial conversation: discussing divorce with your children. We all know that divorce is challenging for everyone involved, but how you approach it with your kids can make a significant difference in their emotional well-being.
Children process divorce differently at each developmental stage—from toddlers to teens—so it’s essential to tailor your conversation to their unique needs. We’ll be exploring how to explain divorce in a way that’s age-appropriate, how children in different age groups typically react, and how to provide support that fosters security and emotional health. Whether your child is in the early stages of development, in elementary school, or navigating adolescence, this episode will provide you with practical guidance to help them through this transition.

Divorce is tough. There’s no sugarcoating it. It’s a process that shakes the very foundation of your life, leaving you to navigate a storm of emotions, legal complexities, financial strains, and, most importantly, your relationship with your children. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’re failing, you’re not alone. And here’s the truth: you don’t have to be perfect.
The reality is that you will struggle, and that’s okay. Struggle is not failure—it’s human. In fact, showing your kids that you can weather hard times with resilience will teach them one of the most valuable life lessons they can learn.
