A Few Ways to Help Keep Your Divorce Simple

We have all heard the horror stories of the long and messy divorces, right? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could simply just get a divorce as easily as we got married? When you think about it, how do you start the divorce process without adding all the drama? An interesting article that was published in the Chicago Post talks about some key things to help keep your divorce as simple as possible.

Communication seems to be the key. Although, if your communication led to you getting divorced you probably will struggle with this one. Did your communication skills possibly help to trigger the need for a divorce?  Since, communication break down is often a problem that many couples have,  how can we be expected to communicate better simply because we’re in the process of a divorce?

The article offers some insight to that question: ” Our first mistake is that we enter divorce settlement conversations with our spouse with the belief that we can say what is on our mind. This starts us off on the wrong foot. Our partner does not care what is on our mind; their concern is what is on their mind.  Divorce changes everything. It puts into play trauma, emotions, anxiety, confusion, differing perspectives, and almost every other negative phenomenon. The marital upheaval puts us at our worst at a time when the fundamentals of sound negotiating require us to be at our best. We think we still have the freedom to say what we wish, and we clearly do not.”
