Schiller DuCanto & Fleck is pleased to announce that associates Reed Chisenhall and Dillon O’Toole will be presenting a comprehensive Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program focusing on guiding clients through divorce while prioritizing the mental health and well-being of their children. Reed and Dillon will lead the insightful session, sharing practical approaches and strategies aimed at ensuring children remain emotionally removed from the proceedings. The program on "Navigating Divorce with Children's Well-Being in Mind" is presented by the Federal Bar Association and MyLawCLE and is approved for 1.5 CLE credits.

Additionally, the program will explore the timely topic of introducing a guardian ad litem when necessary and the best practices for discussing this with children.
