Divorce is traumatic. However, being prepared and being ready , both emotionally and intellectually, will allow for a much successful resolution for you. This is the case whether your divorce is resolved more quickly through settlement or through a prolonged trial.
There are over 1,000,000 divorces in the United States every year, and over $50 billion in assets handled between the parties in these divorces each year.
Both Howard and Montgomery counties have good reputations for even-handed handling of divorce case. That's good. For what I would describe as a successful divorce, some of the attributes that come to mind are comprehension and fairness to the parties, economical, relatively fast, etc.
15 DIVORCE SUCCESS TIPS FOR HOWARD COUNTY AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY:
1. ATTITUDE ABOUT THE DIVORCE : Despite widespread thinking, divorce is not always necessarily destructive or even a negative development. Many divorces, in fact, lead to happier, more balanced lives for both parties. By focusing on constructive conversations and outcomes, your divorce can be successful in all the ways that really matter. In order to get there, both parties must have the proper attitude.
2. LEARN BEFORE YOU BURN. Educate yourself about the divorce process. As with everything in divorce law, PREPARATION is key. Do not just rely just on others who have divorced for all of your guidance. Seek professional advice. In over 35 years of doing this, I have observed that each and every divorce is unique in its facts and its ramifications. No two divorces are the same.
3. MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONS. Do not allow your emotions to get the best of you. Try to maintain realistic expectations in the divorce.
4.Try to see and understand the positive side of dealing with lawyers and the courts --- though this may seem difficult at times.
5. Try to avoid bitterness, particularly to the extent that it interferes with your realistic plans to complete the divorce and move forward with your life.
6. Decide on how family life should be organized when children are involved. Remember that you and your spouse are the ones divorcing, not the children. Try your best to keep the children out of fray between you and your spouse.
7.Try to take the high road in your divorce. Plan carefully, and resist the urge to act irrationally.
8. Make sure that you have developed a comprehensive list of issues to be resolved. Take some time and give good thought to this. Plan ahead. And, plan as if your spouse is planning ahead, as well.
9. Take time to think about and understand your best and worst-case scenarios. Do not panic.
10. Be in the position to take advantage of opportunities that your spouse may present; such as, for example, if possible, speeding up the divorce to accommodate the opposing spouse if your financial settlement package will be more generous, etc.
11. Keep in contact with your attorney and other professional advisers. Certainly, at least keep your attorney apprised of relevant developments.
12. Deal appropriately with relationship adjustments between you and your extended family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, co-workers, etc.
13.Learn to regain your sense of you as an individual. Distance yourself from aspects of the broken relationship. Move on to rediscover your own individuality.
14 Do not focus on the now. Focus on the future. Focus, for example, on five years from now.
15. MIND YOUR MONEY. Take stock of you finances with an inventory of your assets.
