The idea of getting a divorce tends to bring visions of arguments, disagreements, anger and strained relationships and that uncertain future. The end of a marriage is never pleasant. Regardless of the reasons for the divorce, emotions will run high and feelings will be hurt. Unfortunately, you will look back on this period in your life as a time you want to forget.
If at all possible, you and your spouse should try to discover if here is anything, even small things, that the two of you agree upon. Unfortunately, as a Georgia divorce lawyer, it has been my experience that compromise is elusive once the attorneys get involved. Even if you are angry and hurt, remember that when the lawyers get involved it will cost you money, and a lot of it.
While it is easier said than done, recognize that you will likely have ongoing dealings with your spouse in years to come, especially if there are children or significant assets involved. After you have made the decision in your own mind that the marriage is over, accusations of blame and guilt will do nothing but cost you money in legal fees. Anything you can do to maintain a positive line of communications will help you in the long run.
