Mistakes to Avoid During a Divorce

 Posted on December 00, 0000 in Family Law

Divorce is an opportunity to begin a new life but unfortunately you can only get there if you travel the rough road of divorce.  People often say that divorce is one of the most stressful events in life, only second to the death of a spouse.  There are common blunders that arise from difficult emotions that can add to this stress.

A typical mistake is hanging on to a marriage that is over.  That is not to say that you shouldn't try to save your marriage, but only that your spouse needs to be actively fighting for the relationship rather than against it.  Don’t waste your efforts and stress yourself out if your spouse has already moved on from the marriage.

Another mistake that is made during a divorce is dating too early.  Divorce is difficult because it can make you feel lonely, incomplete and sad.  It’s not that you shouldn't feel wanted but it’s too soon while going through a divorce.  Allow yourself the time to heal from the divorce before you start dating again.  Any romantic relationship will only add to the stress of a divorce.

If kids are involved in a divorce, parents might seek their support.  Resist the urge to pull your children into the divorce process by asking them to pick a side.  There are also more passive aggressive ways that parents can cut down each other in front of their children like badmouthing your spouse.  No one wins in these situations, especially not the children who are caught in the middle.

Divorce is best handled with the support of family, friends, or other trusted people.  If you are experiencing a rush of emotions and stress, don’t handle everything by yourself.  Reach out to get the help you need rather than neglecting yourself in this process.  It is also beneficial to have the advice of a legal professional during your divorce.  Contact a knowledgeable divorce attorney in Hinsdale who can help alleviate your stress.
