The statistics are clear, your attorney should be better at settling cases than putting on a trial.

*Emotional support: Seek support from trusted friends, family members, or a therapist to help you navigate the emotional challenges of divorce.

*Prepare for logistics: Make arrangements for housing, childcare (if applicable), and other practical matters. Consider how you will divide assets, debts, and responsibilities.

*Choose an appropriate time and place: Select a time and place to have the conversation where you can both speak openly and privately without interruptions.

*Be prepared for their reaction: Anticipate a range of emotions from your spouse, including shock, anger, sadness, or denial. Be empathetic and patient while communicating your decision.

*Communicate with compassion and clarity: Express your feelings honestly and respectfully, using “I” statements to convey your perspective without blaming or accusing your partner.

*Listen actively: Allow your partner to express their thoughts and feelings without interruption. Show empathy and validate their emotions, even if you disagree with their perspective.

Stop. Texting. Angry. Nothing makes your case go downhill quicker than when the screenshots show up! Before you send anything, ask yourself if you would want the Judge or GAL in your case to read it? If not and you still feel impulsive, text your friend, therapist, or priest…just not your ex.

Intuition is important and we all ignore it too often. Don’t! Your gut is trying to tell you something so pay attention. Listen to your intuition when choosing your divorce attorney too. I tell my clients they should feel comfortable in our consultation because we will be making big decisions together. The good news is you can move forward following your intuition and leave the past where it belongs. 💛
