THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

Remember, even the "best" divorce is a no-win situation! Focus on getting the best resolution possible, remember to protect yourself, don't forget to consider your children's genuine "best interest" and get on with your life.

I have represented many, many people who were miserable in their marriages for years. The divorces were generally unpleasant for everyone involved, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Your attorney is probably not a licensed therapist. If you suspect that you would benefit from professional counseling to get you through this stage, ask your friends and family for recommendations. Your attorney may also be able to suggest someone who has experience and expertise in the area of divorce counseling. Many people have benefitted greatly from professional therapy and/or counseling in this area.

Deciding who gets which set of pillowcases is not the primary issue in a divorce. The whole thing boils down to two people reaching an agreement about no longer being married and deciding how best to get on with their lives apart.
