If you are like most people who are going through divorce, you are asking yourself ‘how did I get here?’ With regard to that question, we cannot provide an answer. However, what we can provide is some valuable information about how to keep the emotions of divorce in check so that your divorce will be a relatively smooth process. Just like we stated above, the high emotions are part of the reason why divorce is such a roller coaster ride. So long as you and your ex can keep the emotions in check, then chances are good that you all will be able to a have a relatively smooth divorce.
One of the ways to keep the emotions in check is to avoid doing anything stupid. During day to day life, avoiding stupid things is easy to do so long as you follow commonsense. During divorce though, commonsense is clouded. Because commonsense is clouded, falling into the pitfalls of doing something ‘stupid’ is relatively easy.
Below is a list of things you can do that will help you avoid falling into the pitfalls of doing something ‘stupid’ during the divorce. Our advice is that you read the list and then use each one of the things listed as a guide to guide you through the divorce:
Number One: Rely On Family Members And Friends. One of the hardest parts about divorce is having to deal with the high emotions. Because this is your life at stake here, your emotions are going to cloud your ability to think rationally. We recommend that all throughout the divorce process, you rely on the advice of family members and friends who you know you can trust for honest, straight forward advice. By doing so, you will be receiving rational advice from someone who has an outsider’s perspective.
Number Two: Keep It Simple. A lot of people who go through are able to keep the emotions in check because they follow one simple rule: they keep it simple. During the early stages of divorce and all throughout the divorce process, try your hardest to keep the divorce simple.
Number Three: Keep The Children Out Of It. As a general rule of thumb, there is no issue as volatile as Child Custody. In order to keep the issue of Child Custody from blowing up real big and turning into a big contentious mess, we recommend that you take measures to keep the children out of the divorce process as much as possible.
