No two children are the same. Every child has their own unique traits and circumstances. A child’s individual characteristics will impact what sorts of needs they have, including what their care needs are.

One child characteristic that can be very impactful in a divorce of parents is if a child has special needs. An example of this is a child having autism. Autistic children and other special needs children can have a variety of additional things connected to their care needs, including: extensive therapies, home care, unique education needs, special medical costs and high consistency needs. These additional care needs could have the potential to have effects on a range of different issues in a divorce, including:
