Faith-based divorce recovery groups. "Your faith has made you well." Matthew 9:22. Divorce is one of the most painful things one can go through, even a Civilized Divorce (SM). Even if you didn't like your spouse very much, you still have to deal with a lot of grieving, anger, resentment, disappointment, and so on. Everybody I know who has participated in a divorce recovery program has said it really helped to have a safe place talk about how divorce was affecting them. I haven't visited these groups, and have no endorsement of them, but here are programs I have heard about, listed in the order in which I got information about them. If the link has an asterisk (*) after it, one of my clients has personally recommended it.

Divorce Care -- a support group for folks who have recently divorced. I've heard good things about them.*

First United Methodist Church of Allen has a divorce recovery program in October. Their email and flyer had two different web addresses, and I don't know if either one has info on the divorce recovery program: www.fumcallen.org or www.fumc-allentx.org

First United Methodist Church of Plano has divorce recovery programs from time to time. That's where I go to church, and I recommend the program. As I write this, the program has already begun for this fall. Next class is scheduled for 6 weeks beginning on March 15, 2007. Child care available. Cost is $30 to cover written materials. I don't think the program has its own page, but the church's web site is www.firstmethodistplano.org . Here's a special program they're running this spring: Joint Custody with a Jerk

Supervised possession and exchange. If one parent has been accused of misconduct with a child, the courts will sometimes order that a parent's possession of a child be supervised. Or, when tensions run high in a divorce, tensions are lower when a disinterested third party acts as a go-between in exchanges of custody. I know there's a place in McKinney, but I don't have any information on that just yet. There's Hannah's House, in Irving, and now in Plano. And there's A Family Affair Supervised Visitations, with locations in Dallas, Collin, and Tarrant counties, and they do on and off site visitations. Let me know if you know of more such places.
