When I read some of the questions out of the Divorce Forums, I am continuously amazed at some of the incidents that come up, displaying for all the world to see the lack of maturity on the part of the divorcing parties. In some instances, one or both parties use dirty tactics to punish the other.
I knew of one divorcee who could not get her rich and powerful husband to finalize their divorce. His behavior, due to the possession clause in that state, was manipulative and divisive. If she got fed up and left, he owned the house. He did everything possible including paying off the legal community to keep that divorce from becoming final before he could manipulate her to move out. She tried to find attorneys with great big fangs to go after him, and was unsuccessful. Eight years after the proceedings had begun, she got fed up and figured out a way to make it final. She went to her therapist (whom she knew had to report this to the police) and said that she had a gun and was going to shoot the bastard. The therapist, of course, reported it to the police. Magically, her divorce was finalized the following week.
I am not suggesting you use this tactic. In fact, I strongly suggest that you do not use it. I told you the story simply to illustrate the dirty tactics I've seen happen in divorce court. What I am suggesting is that you do everything in your power to create a collaborative divorce for the sake of your children.
The emotional climate in divorce seems to make reason take a long vacation. You'd prefer reasonableness, but the sparks seem to fly between you and your ex because you know where he keeps his goat parked and you can't seem to help yourself from flinging it into his face, can you. If this is what is happening for you, I'd suggest that you let your attorney speak to his attorney so that the emotions can be anesthetized and reason returned to the throne.
Research on the internet so that you understand your rights and the rights of your children. That knowledge, plus the expertise of your attorney, should help to make a collaborative divorce happen and thus, not be quite so disturbing for the children involved. If your discussions with your ex become volatile, please don't do them in front of your children. Hire a childcare provider and take your discussion out of the home where your kids won't be disturbed by it.
If you will keep your kids at the top of the list and try to keep the divorce as harmonious as you can for their sake, you'll experience more harmony than if you didn't have this as a goal. Your children deserve to be as undisturbed emotionally as you are able to craft for them. Your children will look back on what you accomplished when they are adults and love you for it. It's just not necessary to revert to dirty tactics when you're divorced.
For The Sake Of Children
If you are in a marriage this is failing and you are not sure if you should stick it out or give up, you may be faced with a lot of difficult decisions. You will have to come up with the right choice that will be good for the entire family. It is hard to do what makes you happy when you have children involved. You will have to decide if you want to stay in the unhappy marriage for the children or if you should separate ways to make yourself happy.
When you have children, you have a responsibility to them. You must make sure that you are giving them the right care and taking all of their feelings into consideration. For most parents, they live to take care of their children and would do anything to make them happy. When the parents are not having a successful marriage, they may feel like giving up but are afraid to because they want to stay together for the sake of the children.
How to know when a relationship is not going to work
When you are in a marriage and it seems to be failing, you will have to decide what to do. You can take the necessary step that many couples take when they are having trouble to try to make it better. There are ways that you can put forth an effort to make the marriage better. You and your spouse can try going to marriage counseling. This may be helpful tool in a lot of marriages that are having trouble for some reason or another. The marriage counselors can help the two try, sort out their differences, and make the marriage work.
It may be a last resort to go to counseling for many of the unhappy couples. They sometimes are not sure if this is the right step for them or not. However, when couples are not sure where to turn to next, getting a marriage counselor to help may b the right choice for them. This is something that will take little bit of time to do. If the counseling is not working and things at home are getting worse, you may decide that it is time to leave the unhappy relationship before it is too late.
When counseling is not helping anymore and nothing seems to make the relationship heal, you may have to decide to go separate ways. When this happens, the parents will have to tell the children in a way that they will understand. It is very important to not upset the children and to let them know it is not their fault and they have done nothing wrong.
Should you give the relationship one more chance?
Some couples are not ready to give up on their marriage. They may want to try and find a way to go on with their relationship so that they can have a happy life ahead of them. This is especially true when there are children involved in the situation. You want to make sure that you are thinking of their feelings and doing whatever is necessary to let them know they are loved and that both parents will be there for them no matter what.
If you are deciding to give your relationship one more chance, you will want to start out slow. You have to make sure that you are on the same page with your partner. You need to be sure that this is what both of you want to do so that there are no disagreements. You have to be sure that this is something that is worth giving a shot or you will be just wasting your time.
What will happen to the children?
If you are trying to separate from your spouse and you are worried about the children, you can do a few things to help them through. You will have to be open-minded and give them the feeling that they are safe and secure. Let the child know that both parents will protect them and there is no reason for them to worry. They will have the best of both parents so that they are not affected in a negative way at all.
You will have to give the children a lot of love from both parents. This is something that will help the child through the disappointment of their parent's separating. They will be confused and upset and it is important to have long talks with the child to make sure they are feeling all right with what is happening around them.
It is important to not force them to accept the fact. You must give them space so that they can adjust to the new situation.
The effects it will have on children as they grow up
Usually if the child has the right support through the entire situation, they will grow up to be great adults. They should not have any real problems trying to deal with this type of situation. If a child has the right parenting from both parents, they will grow up to be happy and healthy adults. They will have learned from their parents how to be happy and not to settle for anything less than what they deserve. They should be able to have a good relationship with their parents and to be able to love for themselves one day.
