Quit Tobacco

Although less commonly identified in family law cases, a parent smoking tobacco in the home or car may create a second-hand-smoke danger to the children. When fighting for custody or visitation time, quitting smoking can demonstrate to your former spouse and quit smoking poster the court officials that you are motivated to do what it takes to make your home a healthy place to raise children. Nicotine addiction is a tough habit to kick. For some helpful advice, look to the website quitsmokingcommunity.org.
