CIVILITY IN MARYLAND DIVORCE : Charles Jerome Ware, LLC - Howard County

Civility in Howard County is a sought-after and noble goal. The County is proud of this effort in resident civility, and so are its courts.  Though difficult at times to accomplish, a culture of civility is particularly important and sought-after in divorce and family law cases in Howard County.

Divorce can be, and generally is, stressful and even traumatic for a couple or family. Decisions about marital property and finances, new living arrangements, parenting schedules, etc., can seem overwhelming. The understandable emotions caused by these changes can make it difficult for divorcing spouses to understand the legal process of divorce; which is why experience attorneys are helpful to the parties. I have observed, as well, that civility between the parties helps move the process along in a more efficient manner.

The following are a few tips I have to assist divorcing parties in, preferably,  maintaining some civility in this process :

1.  Making an " effort", and maintaining an "attitude", of civility.
2. Do not expect to "win" your divorce case; instead, develop and attitude of "successfully surviving" your divorce. In over 30 years of representing parties in divorce proceedings, it is my observation that
extremely seldomly does a party actually "win" a divorce case [whatever a "win" is defined to be].
3. You and your spouse are the ones getting a divorce --- not your children. As much as possible, try not to involve your children in the bickering between you and your spouse.  Save the children.
4. Do not make important decisions in your divorce without thinking them through very carefully. " Measure twice, cut once", so to speak.
5. Do not get bogged down in insignificant things in your divorce. Keep your eyes on the "Big Picture" of what you want to reasonably accomplish --- going forward in your life.
