Best Adoption Lawyers in Warwick, RI

** Emotions & Divorce ** Broken relationships that end in divorce cause emotions to run high. Anger, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness and rejection are just a few. Do you want to tank a smooth divorce process? Let your emotions get the best of you. All it takes is saying or doing something in anger or from your insecurity to turn your divorce into World War III. Take Jim and Tammy for example. Tammy filed for divorce. Jim was devastated. He rationalized that she must be cheating on him. They reached an agreement to settle their divorce. At the divorce hearing, Tammy asked the judge to resume her maiden name. Jim snapped. He accused her of cheating and that even his name was no longer good enough for her. Tammy was so angry she refused their agreement and decided to fight. Months later, after spending thousands of dollars in attorney’s fees they settled again with neither of them being in a better position than they were before. What did they have to show for it? Months of anger, fighting, stress, lost time from work and costly attorneys fees. Jim was hurt and acted out of anger. Tammy also reacted in anger by throwing out the agreement even though she knew Jim was hurting. The Moral? If you want the smoothest divorce possible, keep your emotions in check. That does not mean denying you have those emotions. Sometimes just realizing that acting based on your emotions can be very costly is enough. I'll address tips for keeping your emotions in check in another posting.
