Every divorce is different, and many men go through divorce without any major issues. However, there are some mistakes that men make during divorce which can cause them a lot of stress and frustration down the road. If you’re considering divorce or if you’ve already gone through it, then this article will give you advice on how to avoid these common pitfalls so your life after divorce is as smooth as possible.
These are the mistakes many men make during divorce:
– Not understanding divorce law and what they need to do. This can lead to not meeting deadlines, not gathering information or documents required by a court.
– Making assumptions about how their divorce will play out based on what other people have told them without consulting an attorney first. For example, some men think that if they don’t live with their spouse anymore then he/she won’t be entitled to any spousal support payments from him; but this isn’t necessarily true in all states because of differences in state divorce laws. They also may assume that there is no way for his wife’s lawyer fighting against him when it comes time for custody issues like parenting schedules and school. Men often feel that in regards to many things they don’t have as many rights as women.
– They may think divorce is just between them and their spouse without realizing that divorce proceedings can be a public affair with the whole world watching.
– They also don’t always realize how much they are hurting themselves when doing things such as blocking calls from his wife, not talking to her or ignoring her requests for meetings on important decisions like where the children should live.
– Men often jump into divorce before thinking about what will happen afterward; so it’s wise to consider things like alimony payments, child support payments, division of assets and liabilities (which doesn’t necessarily mean household items), attorneys’ fees etc., which would all affect finances in both present day and future years because he’ll have less money coming in each month during divorce proceedings plus after can really effect your lifestyle and happiness after.
-Men often fail to communicate their needs and desires for the future, making it difficult for each person in a divorce to see eye-to-eye on anything from where they will live post divorce to how they will share custody of children. Men can also be unsure of what juggling child care and a demanding job may look like.
-Men often fail to take the time for themselves. Self care is important for everyone and between work demands, family, children and your divorce proceedings you may not be practicing self care. Which can be anything from a trip to the gym, a relaxing evening alone, a golf trip or a massage. All of which help you better think to navigate your divorce proceedings
The divorce process is hard enough, but when men don’t make any of these mistakes they will be better prepared and able to handle divorce with more ease. Divorce can be a sad event in someone’s life, so it makes sense that sometimes we need help coping with this transition. It doesn’t have to be all on our own though, there are people who care about you and want what’s best for you during divorce.”
