Are There Any Actions To Take Prior To Legal Separation Or Divorce?
Video Transcript
Oliver Ross, Glendale Divorce Mediator: “I would suggest the actions you take are directed towards getting yourself centered while in the midst of the emotions that are so common and normal for people to experience when they’re considering divorce; the anger, the sadness, even depression. So, I would consider getting yourself centered before you take any action. Now, that’s very different than you might experience if you would go consult with a divorce lawyer who’s in part of the adversarial process, which I did for 19 years before. Because a lot of lawyers, most of them will recommend that you start drawing down on credit cards as much as you can. You take money out of the bank account without your spouse knowing.
The problem is that, that’s going to for sure increase hostility, tension, adversity. If there are minor children, that kind of hostility between parents is going to fall out on children. Quite frankly, divorce can be messy, no matter how you go about it. Because you’re in the midst of this trauma, the emotions, the high emotions that are concurrent with divorce. So, I would recommend that you get in touch with those feelings first and deal with them from your adult place rather than your child place. And for example, look for mediation. Somebody, a qualified person, a professional Glendale Arizona mediator, who can help you reduce hostility, reduce tension, help you make reasoned decisions rather than those that are likely to come out of the emotions that we all experience when we go through Glendale divorce.”
