Tips For Surviving Divorce And Starting Over

january divorce

Marriage has been a part of society for centuries but married couples still have problems. Although over 90 percent of people marry before they reach the age of 30, over 50 percent of those marriages end in divorce. Divorce can be stressful and difficult for both parties, so it is important to learn ways to handle this process successfully.

The Men’s Legal Center offers you help through every stage of the divorce process. Here are some tips from the professional lawyers who have spent many years helping men with all types of divorce issues.

1. Listen To Your Attorney

It is important to follow this step as your attorney is often the voice of objective reason. Although the truth may be painful, it is important to act rationally. Your attorney is the best person to keep you focused on the facts and the end goals of your divorce.

2. Find A Support Group

People who are going through a divorce know that it can be incredibly distressing, which is why divorce is ranked among the top three most stressful events possible in a person’s life. Having an appropriate forum in which to discuss the complex emotions generated from divorce often eases the pain of the separation. A therapist is also a great resource to have if you need to work through your issues on a more personal basis.

3. Live Within Your Means

While you are filing for a divorce, plan ahead for attorney costs and the eventual splitting of expenses. If necessary, hire a financial planner. Without any financial plan you may find yourself unable to pay attorney fees, which can put you at a serious legal disadvantage.

4. Protect Your Children

You have to remember that your kids are already having a tough time adjusting to their parents splitting up and may need counselling or therapy to deal with separation anxiety. They should never be treated as pieces of property and used in the dealings between you and your spouse. While most parents understand this intellectually, they may resort to sniping about the other partner to the kids out of hurt. This is always unacceptable and hurts the children in the long run. Work your spousal differences out in court, not at the family dinner table.

5. Be Careful With Dating

It is not usually a good idea to jump directly back into the dating scene. You need to give yourself time to get over the emotions inherent in any breakup before you start trying to form a new relationship.

No matter what your situation, it is important that you retain an attorney who can help you through this difficult time. At the Men’s Legal Center, we use our years of combined experience to help you work through your divorce issues. Contact us now for an initial consultation.
