By the time you and your soon to be ex-spouse decide to divorce, usually one or more of the parties involved is ready for a quick and drama free separation. Unfortunately, divorce can be very emotional and contentious. Here are a few tips from our experienced family law attorneys to reduce drama and achieve a less complicated divorce.
1. Take the High Road
Going through a divorce can be complicated and emotionally draining for everyone involved. Often people make rash and poorly thought-out decisions during a divorce. This phenomenon has never been truer than now, during the age of social media, where every thought can be instantly uploaded for hundreds or thousands to see.
It is important to try to put hard feelings aside to achieve a more favorable divorce. Putting emphasis on immaterial issues can lead to extra stress, conflict, and attorney’s fees. Instead, try to focus on your main goals and what is in the best interest of yourself, and children if they are involved. If your spouse is being difficult, it can be wise to refrain from personal communication with them and instead leave it up to your attorneys.
2. Communicate with Your Attorney
Your attorney is there to advocate for you and your goals. It is important to be open and honest with them about the details of your marriage/divorce and what are your main goals are. An accomplished family law attorney will save you time and money and provide you with some peace of mind.
3. Consider Additional Resources
Divorce can be one of the toughest scenarios you face in your life. There are plenty of experts out there who can help you navigate this difficult situation and continue on with life. A therapist is a great place to start. Additionally, there are many great co-parenting counselors or divorce counselors that have experience in helping ex-spouses communicate and move forward amicably.
