New Generation of Divorcing Couples Goes Online to Find Support, Advice on Divorcing, While Protecting the Kids

August 6th, 2010

Newtown, Pennsylvania – August 3, 2010

In this internet age, more parenting conversations are happening online. One law firm has opened up these conversations for a segment of parents typically ignored by media – divorcing couples with children. The website, TimbyHunt.com, was launched by Newtown attorney Tracy Timby in May of this year because, “I didn’t want to cross examine terrified, crying six year old children any more.” Timby continues, “Part of my job was to discredit little children who were probably blaming themselves for the issues their parents were having. That was my job!”

Since the launch two months ago, hundreds of divorcing mothers and fathers have started conversing on everything from prenuptials to divorce coaches to shielding children from destructive arguments. In one particular instance, a group of dads started talking about how to discuss ‘divorcing happily” with their kids, the whole time knowing that they were going to be parting this way. Timby remarks, “We literally had fathers from California, Iowa, Canada, Hawaii…you name it…chatting about how they could give their kids a happy life after they were divorced. Meanwhile, there were ten dads in a separate thread debating on which one was enjoying life more, each of them discussing their divorces and how they were able to move on with their lives whilst communicating with their ex-wives…and doing so without fighting and putting the children in the middle.”

“While numerous law firms exist for the standard, conflict-oriented divorces, firms exclusively for people who want to divorce peacefully, for the childrens sake, are very few. It is this kind of firm that represents men and women who just want to move on, but get along. As more and more of America’s couples divorce, as more and more children are hurt by seeing their parents fight, and as families are being destroyed financially (some estimate that ½ of all college funds set up for children are lost because of lawyer fees), law firms like Timby Hunt fulfill an important niche…Collaborative Divorce.

“’Time Magazine calls it ‘Healthy Divorce,’ Timby says. Being a mom changed the way I thought about divorce law. In a sense we are charting our own path. Also, so many moms and dads have thanked me for giving them an alternative and that just gives me more confirmation that my decision to switch to the Collaborative divorce method was completely worth it. Just like millions of others, they thought they were alone in this “being unhappily divorced journey,” but it turns out there’s a passionate band of proactive parents who face the same issues and who all want to save their own kids as much as they could from the horrors of a standard divorce,” Timby said.

Notable to TimbyHunt.com is its commitment to positive change to divorcing, donating to a children’s charity voted upon by the community of registered users. Also, some of our clients have chosen charities that Timby Hunt contributes to on their behalf. Peter Samuelson, a newly (collaboratively) divorced father in Philadelphia, Pa says, “I love children, and there is no way they should have to be part of nasty bickering between their parents, so, donating to associations specifically dedicated to working with children of bad divorces was a perfect fit.

” Sally Rodgers, an editor living in NYC, gives to a college that provides free educations for students whose parents were divorced while they were in high school (and didn’t have time to save for tuition as a result.) Sally believes that “being able to negate the financial destruction caused by bitter divorces gives me much pleasure. I hope that more and more families will choose the collaborative divorce or divorce mediation methods because they promote happiness. I know I am a great mom and I also know that their dad is a great dad. Why cant we get along for the kids sakes?”
