    Additional Information:

    • The episode discusses the challenges faced by individuals with FASD, the impact on education and parenting, and provides practical tips for supporting individuals with FASD. Patricia Casper shares her expertise and insights from her 30+ years of experience in child welfare, mental health, and addictions.

    My career has spanned 30+ years in addictions, mental health and child welfare. Always, I have been saddened by those falling through the cracks. It turns out, the reason is neurological, not a lack of motivation on my clients' parts. Prenatal exposure to alcohol causes brain injuries that interfere with how the brain is wired, making "random simple things" complex or nearly impossible without tailored supports. The remainder of my working life is devoted to helping others see that too, professionals and loved ones alike.

    Patricia Kasper is a leading expert in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), with years of experience in research, advocacy, and support for individuals and families affected by this condition. Her insights and dedication have been instrumental in raising awareness and providing resources for those impacted by FASD.

The cost of living is increasing, leading to more families needing dual incomesBoth parents often believe they are the better parent, but it's important for children to have a relationship with both parentsEven if a parent is a "deadbeat" or has mental health issues, children still need to have some kind of relationship with themIt's not the role of one parent to teach their children about the faults of the other parentMediation can be helpful for custody and visitation agreements, but both parties need to be willing to cooperate It is advised to reach an agreement with the other parent, even if it's not ideal, rather than letting a judge make the decision, as it can cause hostility and conflict in co-parenting.The role of a child's attorney is to be the voice of the child in court, but their involvement varies by jurisdiction and is typically not required in family law cases.When it comes to parenting teenagers, it's important to remember that they are still children and may not want to be involved in their parents' divorce.Encouraging extracurricular activities for teenagers should be a conversation between the child and the other parent, not the custodial parent. When going through a divorce, it is important to protect your assets and financial interests by gathering all financial records and documents.When hiring a lawyer, it is important to trust them and ensure they are honest about the potential outcomes of the case.It is recommended to have a therapist, emotional support system, and legal advice during a divorce.It is advised not to start dating too soon during a divorce, as it can lead to emotional complications.The divorce process should not be unnecessarily prolonged and steps should be taken to move towards a resolution, including preparing for trial if necessary.
