from: Surviving Divorce
So you have finally reached that point where divorce is imminent and no amount of pleading or reasoning out or marriage counseling could deter your marriage from coming to an inevitable end. There are practical issues to consider. It is important that you know how to deal with these issues in the most effective way manageable because this could have a ripple effect on the rest of your life.
Surviving divorce is a step by step process. Although the guide below is not the be-all and end-all of everything about surviving divorce, it could help you get a basic grasp of what to expect and what to do when getting divorced.
Letting Them Know
The “them” we are talking about here should be obvious. This includes everyone in your life that you feel needs to know that your marriage is about to come to an end. This includes family members, friends, and of course, the children.
Expect some resistance, but note that your family’s reaction may have something to do with the embarrassment of divorce than you actually getting a divorce. In times like these, some families drift apart, to be replaced by a select group of trustworthy friends.
The children’s reaction will be the harder part of surviving a divorce. But some may already have a sense that the marriage is falling apart and may actually feel relieved to know that you are finally getting a divorce instead of prolonging the stress of a troubled married life.
In any case, the first and most important step in surviving divorce is to let your loved ones know that you are indeed getting a divorce.
Filing for Divorce
Now comes the technical part. Some people think that this is the easiest part about getting a divorce. While there might be some truth in that, you should never forget that you are about to undo a significant portion of your life. Botch it up and your chances of surviving a divorce are nil.
Sure, you can always hire a great divorce attorney to handle all the paper work for you. But while your lawyer can argue custodial and support issues in court, he can’t help you deal with the emotional aspect of the whole procedure. And be forewarned: it is going to get emotional. It’s hard not to. Not when the rest of your life is at stake.
Looking for a Lawyer
It is the same as choosing a doctor. If you want the best, then look for a specialist. Attorney fees are a defining factor in this aspect of surviving divorce. So be sure to call around and compare rates before making a decision. Essentially, hire a good lawyer, one who specializes in divorce, is licensed by the bar in your state, and has experience.
