Dealing with your Spouse through the divorce

Tips on getting through a difficult situation

How Should You Deal with your Spouse During the Divorce?
Divorce tends to bring out the worst in people. Self-protection requires a new set of guidelines for dealing with your legal adversary:

  • Be Polite - Nothing will be gained from unneccesarily confronting or arguing with your spouse
  • Be Skeptical - You need to be careful of information you are given by your spouse regarding the divorce
  • Walk away from arguments or conflict
  • Don’t enter into private negotiations without your lawyer’s knowledge or advice
  • Don’t make agreements or sign anything without talking to your lawyer first
  • When it doubt, believe your lawyer, not your spouse
  • Learn to say, “Talk to your lawyer and have him or her talk to mine”
  • Please obtain a post office box until the conclusion of the case so that your mail will not be intercepted by your spouse.
  • Do not, under any circumstances, keep any files in connection with yuour case at any location where your spouse could seize them, thus frustrating the proceedings.
  • Do not, under any circumstances, enter into any Agreements of Sale on your real estate, or the acquisition of new real estate, without conferring with your attorney.
  • Do not presume that your counsel receives copies of any correspondence, legal pleadings, or notices that you may receive in the mail or by judicial process. Upon receiving any such documents, contact your attorney immediately and send your counsel copies of any such documents
  • Do not be intimidated by your spouse
