Going through a divorce is a stressful experience; the emotions involved can allow for poor decisions to be made. Be aware of how you are feeling and how your
partner is feeling. It may be that some of what you are each pursuing in the divorce is for emotional rather than logical reasons and you should think about whether it is worth the cost both in financial and emotional terms.
Remember, the divorce process is not there to decide who was right or who was wrong, or to attribute blame for the break-up. You may feel it is satisfying to put your
ex through hell in the divorce but it can also be very expensive.
You also need to be conscious that your lawyer is a professional adviser and representative rather than a counsellor or friend. Good lawyers will provide a sympathetic ear but they are a very costly way of getting emotional support.
Good lawyers will also sometimes challenge you about what you are doing in a way you may find upsetting; if this happens, it is because they have your best interests at heart.
