Why an amicable divorce is your best solution!

Oct 7, 2009 | Emotional Effects of Divorce

Why should anyone consider an amicable, or peaceful, divorce?   Is this a crazy question or what?  Divorce is a war, divorce is a death, and yet, divorce can be your New Beginning eventually.  Almost 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce, and the effects are devastating.  You’re probably reading this blog because you are about to divorce or have been affected by a divorce.  I will try to help you regain your confidence and manipulate the mine fields of your divorce so you can obtain a peaceful resolution. 

I know you didn’t want to be here; neither did I.   My process was not dignified—it was war and it was a war  which no one won.  It killed my spirit for a long time, and my children suffered—fights in school, bad talk, etc.  But we survived and it lead me on a journey to explore these issues deeply and help people avoid getting caught up in the system, which really doesn’t care for you at all.  It’s a money-making system that’s evolved through time, and like many of our other bureaucracies, it needs to change.  So I hope that I can help you move forward in positive new directions, rather than see you hold yourself back engulfed in your anger and depression.  It’s your choice and it’s a very difficult one to make, but I want to share some information with you to help you on your journey.   

I will try to walk you through the process as simply as possible.  I am not an attorney, so I won’t be giving you any legal advice on this blog.  I will just be sharing life experiences with you supported by facts, experiences and stories from the many people who have been able to walk the path of an amicable divorce.

This blog will focus on three main topics:  the emotional issues; how to navigate the legal system; and success and disaster stories of real people’s divorces, as well as input from other divorce experts.  Stay tuned for our next post.

The author of this blog is not an attorney and the information contained in these blogs should not be considered legal advice. The information provided here is based on the experience of the author and some of her clients whose actual names are not mentioned.  Do not hesitate to seek the advice of an attorney if you have any legal questions.

I believe that we are much better off making our own decisions about our private lives, instead of leaving it in the hands of the legal system.
