About this episode
This episode discusses the complexities of divorce and child support for parents of children with special needs in Texas.
Divorce and child support are legally complex and emotionally challenging issues on their own.

If these special considerations are not appropriately addressed, it could be disastrous for the children with special needs. Join this webinar as Board Certified Family Law Attorney Mike Day addresses how parents can best protect their children with special needs in the midst of litigating a divorce or child support dispute. In addition, Mary Ann Hughes, Certified Special Needs Divorce Coach and founder of Special Family Transitions, will share tips on being proactive and organized in divorce, to better deal with the overwhelming issues of special needs divorce and more effectively advocate for yourself and your child with a disability.
