Divorce is complicated and emotional. It is easy for the high emotions of a divorce to transform into vindictive and unkind actions. When couples become passive-aggressive, cruel, and uncompromising, the outcome of your divorce suffers. When it comes to divorce, there is a clear distinction between being tough or strategic and being unkind. Ultimately, it pays to get along during your California divorce — here’s why. Nasty words lead to resentment. It might feel good to send an angry text to your ex-spouse, but doing so is not beneficial. Upon reading those messages or listening to an angry voicemail, a former partner will likely feel attacked, defensive, and upset. These emotions don’t create compromise. You can actually receive much more from the divorce regarding assets, custody, and alimony through amenable and strategic decisions than through force and cruelty. Your divorce will be more efficient. When you and your spouse act amicably, documents are filed faster, decisions are made more easily, and the court can adjudicate issues more smoothly. However, this doesn’t mean you must agree with each suggestion or point of negotiation with your ex-spouse. We’ll help you handle disagreements or discrepancies in a manner that serves your best long-term interest and saves you time. Staying kind will save you money. The average divorce in California costs $22,200 or just over $26,000 if child support and custody issues are involved. However, there are California divorces where the cost climbs into six figures and beyond. Divorce becomes an expensive proposition when it drags out over months or years — and the leading reason for a long divorce is bad behavior by one or both spouses. Your children will notice the state of your relationship. A long-standing cliché says divorcing spouses should continue to “get along for the kid’s sake.” This cliché is quite accurate. If children are involved in your divorce, the ability to get along and “play nice” becomes even more critical, as the kids will notice how your relationship with an ex-spouse evolves and realigns. It will not only shape their view of the divorce but form long-term opinions about you as their parent. IS IT IMPORTANT TO GET ALONG DURING YOUR DIVORCE?
