Are you REALLY ready to file for Separation?

 Posted on April 22, 2014 in Uncategorized

Whether you refer to it as a divorce or separation, deciding that you want to split is a decision which never should be taken lightly. There’s always a time in which space is required between your partner and you, and space occasionally can be a healthy decision. It permits both parties to have the ability to rationally consider the ideal method of handling the duty at hand, and to talk about a possible compromise. There’s never a clear indication of when the ideal time is to end your marriage; therefore, taking ‘one final shot at mending your relationship’ is something you might have to attempt many times.

If, after exhausting all these possibilities and you still feel that divorce is inevitable speak with one of our Chicago divorce attorneys at (312) 884-1222 for a free consultation.

Therefore consider this: If you’re considering separation, determine how your partner and you might take time apart, without having to make any spontaneous decisions, and taking the time to consider solutions. Unsure how much time you should take? As long as it takes! There isn’t any reason to dive head first into a separation or a divorce, therefore just play it out, then see how it goes, it can’t get any worse as you already feel you are at the end of the rope.

As you’ve taken the time to think and come to a few possible choices for the two of you, prepare a time to collect together and talk about them. Make it a special time; go to a park or out to dinner. Go anyplace where it’s a relaxing environment and you are able to think clearly and stay calm. Have patience with your spouse, closely listen and permit them to fully speak prior to you taking your turn. Make notations if you must, if you want to have the ability to respond to what they’re saying without being concerned with forgetting what you had to say or interrupting. As both of you have completed your thoughts, see what type of solution is ideal for the two of you.

If you both had the ability to reach a solution together, excellent! If not, think about speaking with a counselor, because a 3rd party assists in disarming any excessive frustration, because they are able to mediate between the both of you. If you’ve attempted counseling before and it didn’t work the way you’d hoped, or your spouse refused to go, attempt counseling online. There are more couples taking online courses, because it’s more comfortable than having to sit with somebody who isn’t part of the relationship. By talking over things in an Internet environment, it permits you the same advice, without as much invasion of privacy.

If, after exhausting all these possibilities and you still feel that divorce is inevitable speak with one of our Chicago divorce attorneys at (312) 884-1222 for a free consultation.
