Separation and divorce can profoundly impact your life. It feels like your whole world is crumbling. You may feel sadness, anger and frustration. Remember that divorce is just a chapter in the book of your life: the sooner you move through it, the sooner you may open the next chapter.
There is a saying that “When one door closes another opens…. but it is hell in the hallway”. Divorce is the hallway of hell. There is so much uncertainty and emotional turbulence, it is stressful for everyone. Most people just want to move forward with their lives.
Often the court process makes it feel worse. Court is an adversarial process where each person is tries to win the battle. Parties often feel that their relationship deteriorates and the stress escalates during the court process. A painful process becomes worse.
