The SPLIT Film for Family Courts

WHEN THESE KIDS SPEAK, PARENTS LISTEN

The SPLIT films are trusted by professionals on the front lines of divorce— therapists, judges, attorneys, and child advocates—because they truly change behavior.

By sharing the honest and moving stories of 12 children, these films reach parents in a way that inspires empathy and reflection.

They encourage cooperation and mediation over prolonged litigation and conflict leading to better outcomes for the entire family.

These films help parents make better choices

SPLIT: The EARLY Years (45 minutes)

gives the children's perspective on divorce...
No adults, no experts…
just kids speaking the powerful truth of
what is on their minds and in their hearts
as their families change.

Their wisdom, candor, and humor encourage parents to make better choices as they divorce.

SPLIT UP: The TEEN Years (50 minutes)

follows the same 12 kids, ten years later, as they reflect on childhoods marked by divorce.

SPLIT UP is a practical and emotional roadmap for teens navigating divorce,
and a cautionary tale for divorcing parents.

"Once you see SPLIT
you can’t do the work
we do in the same way."

Chris Osborn
Mediator & Collaborative Lawyer

"These films are eye-opening!

They helped me understand so much about my children. I am so grateful for the opportunity to understand their feelings better.”
