Tips on navigating a high-conflict divorce
-
- Plan carefully: Make sure you have the money and access to credit you need before you announce your desire for a divorce, so that if your spouse takes drastic and spiteful measures such as cleaning out a bank account or closing joint cards when they find out you’re leaving, you won’t be left high and dry.
-
- Don’t communicate directly: Choose a lawyer with whom you feel comfortable communicating, who will speak with opposing counsel on your behalf so that you don’t have to talk directly to your ex unless absolutely necessary. If you do need to communicate with your spouse, keep your communications in writing. Back up your text messages and save your emails.
-
- Avoid attempts by your spouse to draw you into a conflict: Often, combative spouses use conflict to continue exerting control over and manipulating their spouse. If you don’t respond to these attempts to ensnare you with an emotional response, your ex will not get the response they’re seeking and will give up. Simply refer your ex to your attorney, rather than engaging in these fights yourself.
