You need to think about your life
without your spouse and what you will need for the short term and what you want
for the long term. Just as important as defining your personal needs and
desires, you need to become informed about your rights. Until you know what you
are entitled to under the law, you will not know if your expectations about the
divorce are realistic and reasonable.
To assist with your financial goals,
you should consider consultation with a financial planner to help prepare a
realistic budget. You must understand the same dollars which were used to run
one household will now be used for two.
I am an attorney not a psychologist and
many not be able to address your emotional issues. Talk with family and friends
about the emotional issues associated with the divorce. Don’t be afraid to
seek professional help, if necessary.
It is important for you to understand
that a resolution of matrimonial issues which wreaks havoc on your life and
leaves you devastated is the worst possible outcome, and should almost always be
avoided. If you focus too much on immediate gratification of emotional urges to
get back at your spouse, you will be disserving long-term goals of emotional
stability and financial security. If you remain clam and plan your future life
with carefully thought out objectives, you will be creating for yourself, as
best as you can possibly do, the kind of life you deserve for you and your
children.
