Making a Choice to Cooperate or Not in Divorce

Young couple going through therapy and listening to the therapistThese days, divorce can be extremely difficult on a couple. This is why many will choose a type of ADR as a way to settle their divorce matters, sometimes settling on collaborative divorce. However, many people do not realize that, even through the collaborative divorce process, you could see upwards of three or four months to settle. The other issue is that a judge will come to the final decision in many of these cases, which means the time put into the case could actually lead to a negative outcome – and this can add a lot of tension to matters.

Emotions in the Midst of Divorce 

When you are going through the divorce process, you may feel many harsh emotions such as conflict and animosity, high stress, regrets, and more. However, it does not always be that way. You can have a divorce where you are civil and cooperative with your ex-spouse, show positivity to your children, and raise children who are free of resentment. Unfortunately, you will find that many attorneys are trained for combat and tend to be quite competitive with the decisions they make in their field.

Many people forget that they actually have a choice in how smoothly their divorce goes. But first, you must remember to take responsibility for your choices and the consequences of these choices, and your ex-spouse must be willing to do the same. Especially when the consequences of actions involve children, there is a lot at stake.
