Below are some good rules to follow
during divorce:
1. Maintain good communication with
your spouse and children.
2. Put your children's welfare first.
Never use your children as a weapon against your spouse.
3. Be sure your children have ample
time with the other parent and keep to the visitation schedule.
4. Be flexible with visitation. You may
need to adjust the visitation schedule from time to time.
5. Giving of yourself is more important
than giving material things.
6. Don't use your children as spies to
report on your spouse.
7. Avoid arguments or confrontations
with your spouse while dropping off or picking up the children and at other
times when the children are present.
8. Don't listen in on your children's
phone calls with the other parent.
9. Don't criticize the other
parent in front of your children. Your children need both parents.
10. Talk to your lawyer before agreeing
to a settlement.
11. Don't physically or verbally abuse
your spouse or children.
12. Don't say anything to others that
you do not want your spouse or the judge to hear.
13. Don't go on a spending spree.
Excessive spending by yourself or others may harm your case.
14. Don't throw away financial records
or other possible evidence.
15. Don't try to hide evidence or
assets.
16. Maintain your composure and sense
of humor.
17. Keep your perspective and be
rational.
18. Develop a budget which is
reasonable and stick to it.
While divorce maybe stressful, it is
not the end of the world. How you or your spouse feel will change as the case
progresses. It is normal to experience stages of denial, anger, guilt, and
depression. These stages will not occur in any particular order.
