We get it—divorce is stressful. And sometimes, we find ourselves behaving in ways we wouldn’t normally.
However, remaining calm and collected is more important now than ever before. If you can get through your divorce with grace and poise, believe us when we say that you can get through anything!
To help you keep your affairs in order and continue to move forward with the process, here are a few things to look out for that you should never do during divorce.
1. Don’t neglect your finances. It’s no secret that divorce can be expensive, so you may need to re-organize your budget to accommodate for this new, short-term expense. This isn’t the time for lavish spending sprees—save that for post-divorce!
2. Don’t bash your ex on social media. We understand that you might want to, and that you’ve got a lot of emotions to let out. Instead, consider going to therapy or talking with friends in a safe, supportive environment. Remember, anything shared online lasts forever!
3. Don’t argue just for the sake of arguing. Choose your battles wisely so that the divorce can move forward and not get hung up on small, irrelevant things just because one of you is upset. Remember, this will also help you both save money and time.
4. Don’t try to handle things without expert legal counsel. It may be tempting to go at it yourself, especially in this current age of DIY, but you don’t want to find yourself in a court of law alone.
