End of action with forethought!
Before making any decisions, and certainly before taking any step, it is important to examine the situation you find yourself in objectively. Family law in general and divorce proceedings in particular can be long, arduous, and drain a great deal of mental, physical, and financial resources.
It is important to consult with an expert lawyer and understand How to get divorced – In each case on its own merits, since every divorce proceeding differs in its circumstances from a previous proceeding.
As you can read on the website and as each and every one of us has heard more than once in our lives, the journey to break up a family involves making difficult decisions that affect the spouses, children, joint property, and prospective financial considerations – those that look ahead to the future.
Also, and especially, the decision to dissolve the family unit should be examined and considered seriously, and it is always best to do this with an experienced lawyer in the field. Only a person and professional who is legally trained for this and has significant experience in successfully handling divorce cases should and can accompany, advise, and represent you.
It is important to remember that every family and every couple has their own personal story and no two cases are alike. The advice you receive from family members and friends may be good, but you should not rely on it and make significant decisions about your future based on it.
A few points to consider before unpacking…
Let’s stop and examine the following points, which aim to “make sense” of the whirlwind of emotions you’ve found yourself in.
The emotional realm – Is love dead? After we divorce, can we really fall in love with a new partner? Do I no longer want intimacy with my current partner? Have we really exhausted all possibilities for resolving the conflict and creating peace in the home?
The economic field – Divorce tends to worsen the financial situation of the divorcing couple. It is worth thinking – how will I manage financially? Does my current situation allow me to stand on my own? Are there changes that I should start planning to improve my financial situation in preparation for the change that will occur?
Also, will I be able to meet the expenses of alimony, housing, etc., which will be applied to me in a different way than I am used to? Are the financial options that will be available to me after the divorce tolerable for me, in the context of housing and lifestyle?

The realm of the self – It is worth asking honestly, what are the options and alternatives available to me for obtaining a new partner. How attractive am I, and how much can I attract, in my estimation, a partner like the one I imagine for myself? Is there anything I can do to allow myself a more attractive partner?
The welfare of the children – It is not recommended to live in a bad relationship for the sake of maintaining the children’s framework. Children usually feel that the framework around them is unstable, even if it is seemingly maintained. The prevailing opinion is that this is not a good example of a satisfying family life for the children. Perhaps, the timing may be significant for them.
It may be worth postponing the separation for a predetermined time, for example, in favor of an event that the child is expected to attend, but it is probably best not to give up on the idea of separation just to create a stable environment for the children. On the other hand, if you decide to initiate divorce proceedings from a married daughter or son, it is important to remember that the children did not choose this path and they will be harmed by the divorce in almost any case.
Act accordingly. Always put the best interests of the children first.
