If you are in the midst of a divorce, you have probably heard divorce clichés while preparing for your time in the courtroom. Truth be told, divorce isn’t always what you expect it to be. This is why it is important to learn more about these clichés and set the record straight to understand what you should really expect.
Money: Some people will take money out of context and center it in their divorce, even though it is not the most important thing – often times, children are involved with divorce. These principles are ones that your attorney will handle and bring up in the courtroom.
Grudges: In many cases, one or both spouses will enter the courtroom wanting revenge for things that were done to them. Unfortunately, this may not wield a favorable ruling in the eyes of the judge. The judge is more concerned about shaping the future of the assets, debt, and children involved with divorce.
Perjury Claims: Usually, lying about something outside of court is not going to get a spouse prosecuted, no matter how much you want it to. It is sometimes difficult to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the spouse was actually lying or if it is relevant to your case.
Mean Judge: Getting into an argument with a judge isn’t worth it, even if the judge is being rude about certain aspects of your case. Rising above and reaching a peaceful resolution is at the forefront of things you want to achieve.
Aggressive Attorneys: People always believe that having an aggressive lawyer is the best option when it comes to divorce. However, a good lawyer will look at the best resolutions so that a full-blown trial does not result. Sometimes being over-the-top aggressive is not necessarily a good thing.
Assets: People will typically want closure after a divorce and ignore the importance of their assets. Realizing that you are merely fighting over “just stuff” is a good way to move forward with your divorce case.
