EMOTIONAL BALANCE DURING DIVORCE

Emotional endurance and balance are necessary and powerful ingredients in the divorce
process.

1. Get support systems in place
Make sure you get strong emotional support and encouragement from trusted friends, family, spiritual advisors or psychologists to help you through the difficult, complex feelings that are associated with the divorce process.

2. Postpone big decisions
Postpone life altering decisions until you are able to think clearly about relocating or changing jobs or acquiring significant property.

3. Don't move out of your marital residence

Do not move out of the family residence without first discussing it with your divorce lawyer.

4. Talk to your children
Reassure your children that they are not the cause of your separation or divorce and explain this in a way that is consistent with your children's ages and maturity level. It is best to be truthful and honest and give children simple and clear answers without blaming anyone.

5. Take care of yourself

While you are taking care of the business aspects of your divorce, you must also take care of yourself. Have a medical and dental examination. If possible, undergo any medical treatments which are needed or anticipated in the near future if they are covered under your spouse's insurance.
