Getting Through a Touch Divorce Starts with Getting the Legal Help and Support You Need
When people come to the unfortunate conclusion that their marriages need to end, they often realize that the process is more overwhelming than they anticipated. Beyond the emotional impact that comes from a big change, they discover that a divorce is a complex, logistical process that requires both time and many steps. If you are going through a divorce, you want to find a divorce attorney who not only has the experience to help, but also understands that this situation can be difficult for you. At Doyle 
Schafer McMahon, LLP, we know you are in a time of transition and upheaval, and you need someone on your side and protecting your interests.
We are here to help, but we also want to empower you from the very beginning Here are some of our top tips for getting through this with a positive outcome beyond the courtroom:
- First and foremost, remain in control of your emotions and actions. No matter what your ex says or does, nothing good comes from rash behavior. Divorce is often a long-game, and by remaining calm and remembering the big picture, you will be less likely to do something to hurt your case.
- Listen to your attorney and remember that he or she is a professional. Well-meaning family and friends may offer advice or commiserate with their own stories, but they could be giving you bad information. Do not take any actions that affect shared finances or property until your attorney clears it.
- If you have children, your child support attorney will help dispel any misconceptions about custody and financial support. The courts support the notion that both parents have a positive influence in their children’s lives and that their care should be fair and equitable. However, what “fair and equitable” looks like varies among situations.
- Gather important documents and keep records. You will need information on all your accounts, shared property, pensions, wages, and more.
- Lastly, be patient and get the emotional support you need. This may take a while, but soon you will be able to move on with your life
