Each year over 1 million marriages end in divorce in the United States. When divorce happens, people feel alone and wonder how anyone else lived through it. Start Making It Livable for Everyone (SMILE), is a program for separating/divorced parents with minor children.
The developers of this program have worked with hundreds of divorcing families having difficulties with time sharing, parenting roles, and other divorce-related issues. This program will provide some information about the effects of divorce and what parents can do to make the divorce situation livable.
Please use the links below and the accompanying worksheet to facilitate your requirement to participate in SMILE. In addition, the standard alternative options outlined on the Order requiring SMILE remain available and can be submitted as well.
Once you have watched the video and the Friend of the Court PowerPoint, then you can print off the questionnaire and fill in your answers. Once the questionnaire is completed, then you can send it in by fax, email or USPS consistent with the directions on the form.
