Divorce Proceeding Tips No. 1: There Are No Divorce Miracles Your divorce should be one part of a comprehensive plan for improving your life. If you want to build a successful business, you don’t simply hope it will grow spontaneously; you develop a plan and execute it. Similarly, you should develop a vision for how divorce will lead to a better life for you. The best-case scenario starts with finding the mindset needed to promote change and having at least a basic understanding of the life you want to live. Without developing this confidence and vision, you can get divorced, but you probably will not do so smoothly. You need to be assured that divorce is one step in a larger plan, not a cure-all. We’ve been through countless divorce proceedings and can assure you it doesn’t work that way. In upcoming issues you’ll hear more tips for getting the most out of your divorce proceedings, but remember that without being proactive, you won’t get the happiness and relief you are looking for. Too many people think a legal document will provide them happiness, but life is a lot more complicated than that.

To put it gently, divorce is not an easy emotional experience. When you’re going through a divorce, you’re probably miserable, and you want it to be over as soon as possible. Despite these feelings, which are perfectly understandable, you won’t get the outcome you want from your divorce without preparing for it. If you don’t want to end up even more despondent after the divorce process, you need to take the time to develop a plan. The first piece of advice that we give clients is that there are no divorce miracles. If you expect the process to unfold on its own and end up with the most beneficial result for you, you’re dreaming. Divorce court is not a place where outcomes magically appear. A judge’s signature is not the instant cure for everything making your life difficult.
