I’d like all the articles I write to be insanely enjoyable. But how can one write a truly enjoyable article about divorce? It’s not like it’s something any of us ever want to go through. But sometimes it’s necessary, so such articles become necessary, too. Here are the things you need to keep in mind about
divorce.
Thinking of the children
This is usually the first piece of advice when it comes to any “how to divorce” article. It doesn’t look like I’m bucking the trend much, does it? You need to remember that your child will be witness to most of what occurs, here. Do your best to think of them. This process may very well stay with them for the rest of their lives, so you need to make sure it’s not to hard on them. Of course, not every marriage has a child, so I’ll leave it at that.
Educating yourself
You should do your best to find out as much as possible about the divorce process in your state. There are a lot of ways in which the process will differ from state to state. Depending on where you live, it could be over in a matter of weeks, or it will take at least a year. Fees will be different. The laws regarded division of property will be different. There may even be differences when it comes to divorce in same-sex marriages. Use an information source like www.Divorce-Laws.insidegov.com/ to keep yourself in the know.
Finding support
Divorce is like strange, uncharted territory. Going at it alone is ill-advised. You should keep your friends and family close during this process. You’re also going to want to look into more official or professional forms of support. As strange as it may sound, there is such a thing as a divorce coach that you might want to look into. Financial advice from an independent party is also wise. And, of course, you’ll probably want to look into getting an attorney.

Keeping it away from social media
A lot of people live their lives in quite a public way. They share so much of themselves and what’s going on in their lives over social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. Most of us are connected to these things all the time via our smartphones. It’s likely we shared many things about our marriage online. But you need to keep all of this divorce business away from social media. In fact, you should probably stop using social media altogether. Social media activity, as well as other online activity, can be used as evidence in court.
Stay kind
This can often seem like the strangest, most difficult piece of advice you can receive regarding a divorce. Especially when the divorce is the result of a betrayal of one party by the other, or in the case of violent behavior. But you should do your best to keep things civil; not for anyone else, but for you. Divorce is already a tough process. But by making it toxic or hateful, it will just stress everyone out even more.
