Divorce Myths
•
The Kids Can Not Handle It Because They are Too Young to Understand
– At a time when children are trying to deal with the changes going on in their
life and the emotions that result, these actions will only add to their distress
and confusion. Hiring a divorce lawyer who provides mediation services can
allow families to work out their differences without the impact that a court
trial can cause.
•
The Spouse Who Fights the Hardest Gets the Best Settlement
– Communal property states require the marital property to be split evenly
between the two states while equitable distribution states give the judge
more flexibility in determining what is a fair division. A local divorce lawyer
can tell you what the divorce laws are for your state.
•
The Divorce Is Your Spouse’s Fault
– Divorce court is not the place to get back at your spouse for getting you to
this place. Take your share of the blame or accept that it is just time to
move on and make the process as easy on you and your family as possible.
