How can your behavior and your choices during a Carlsbad divorce affect your life after the process is completed?
Divorce can be a traumatic experience for many people. In some cases, an individual struggles to understand and process is happening in the “here and now.” They are often unable to perceive the reality of the road forward after their divorce is completed.
As Carlsbad Certified Family Law specialists with decades of experience I can tell you that the actions of the parties during divorce proceedings have a profound impact on the emotional burden of the divorce itself, they affect their own quality of life in the months and years that follow. This is especially true if you share children and expect to co-parent with a former spouse.
The ending of a marriage is most often an emotional and difficult experience. We understand our client’s disappointments, hurts and even anger. The divorce and family law attorneys at Burke & Domercq have counseled people who are going through the process for decades. One of the best gifts we can give to our clients is to help them to learn how to separate the personal and emotional disappointments and hurts from the practical and legal decisions which must be made in order to complete a divorce. This takes time.
Hand-in-hand with this idea is another simple fact:
The experience you have with your former spouse going through a divorce will greatly affect your ability to effectively work through challenges after your marriage has legally ended.
Those who have children are going to have to deal with their former spouse through many different challenges down the road. Your ability to handle that relationship and to work through those challenges will have a significant impact on the quality of your own life, and that of your children. It is in your own interest, and those of the children, to choose a different path forward.
