It’s Easy To Fall Out
Working together isn’t easy. When your relationship is ending, and you realise that your futures lie in different directions, instinctively you will want to pull apart. It will feel much easier, much less awkward, to form separate camps, away from each other. To delegate the difficult discussions to your lawyers.
But you must, as far as you are able, question your instincts. Divorce isn’t something you can delegate. When it comes to agreeing the division of your finances, or the arrangements for your children you have two options: reach an agreement between the two of you or have an outcome imposed on you both, and your family, by a stranger.
So, at the end of the day, it’s going to come down to the two of you, the compromises you are each prepared to make and those which you aren’t. Those are not decisions your lawyers can make for you. By keeping an open dialogue with each other, provided it is safe to do so, so are enabling the constructive discussion you’ll need to reach a fair outcome.
And there are many professionals out there who can help you work together, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.
