If you are looking to try and forget the memories of your life that you had before your divorce, if you will excuse my pun, forget it! You may believe there's no way of getting past this type of issue. You do not want to forget the good times that you have endured especially if those memories included children, of course, but there IS a way, not to forget, but to neutralise the way you feel about the painful ones. Just as you can look back and laugh at an event that was, at ... more...

As a divorce coach, I'm accustomed to the emotional upheaval a person going through divorce feels. But recently I've tuned in to the "collateral damage" caused by a divorce--the impact of divorce on friends. Insecurity, grief, resentment, and anger are common reactions as friends are forced to regroup and rebuild relationships with the now uncoupled individuals. If a couple experiences divorce as an earthquake, the effect on their friends is the aftershock. Here's ... more...

Studies have recently been carried out into the mental health of divorced women and the results recently published. The findings were taken from three differing groups of people with startling similarities in the results despite diverse original circumstances. This was an observational study carried out in three phases over a period of three years. Experiment A took a look at the divorcees under the age of twenty five. In general, these women were at the lower end of the income scale but ... more...

When cheating, most men begin to mistreat their significant other in little ways. She may notice that he starts talking to her in negative nasty ways, or accuses HER of cheating (out of guilt I suppose). Some men become overtly disrespectful and stay out all night, stay gone for days at a time, or become verbally or physically abusive. Confused women who wonder how love could have gone so wrong sometimes become depressed. Some end up in clinics on antidepressants because they don't ... more...

By choosing to love someone else, we open ourselves up to possibilities. Possibilities to experience total bliss, passion, and deep soul satisfaction, as well as the possibility to experience total emotional devastation! But most of us view the possible benefits as being worth the risk, and so we involve ourselves with others to get love. And therein lies the problem. Experiencing loneliness and a hunger for companionship, we hide who we really are because we want the approval ... more...

A divorce is never easy, but it is possible to end a marriage amicably with little or no difficulty. However, this is not always true in the many cases. Divorce lawyers are usually the only ones that truly win in a long drawn out divorce proceeding, which tends to be extremely overwhelming for the parties involved both psychologically and financially. The longer it takes to settle a divorce, the longer the conflict continues, creating huge legal fees for both sides. If both parties agree during ... more...

A book could be written to describe all the reasons why married couples get divorced. I want to highlight a few of the major components behind marital divorce.

Most often, divorce is just the icing on a cake that has been in the oven for months, or even years.

One of the saddest things we see are when Mom either moves away with the kids without any notice. Most Courts generally accept that dad is entitled to notice of a move-away plan, and will grant an emergency without non-removal order, prohibiting Mom from moving the children away without a full investigation by the family Cou... more...

We often get asked this question: "Gee, can you just walk into a family court and watch?" You can. Some procedures, you can. There are other procedures that you cannot. Anything that involves any kind of child services, where there is some sort of abuse or things of that nature, those types of hearings are closed to the public. It would only be the parties involved, but if anything, there are motions and other types of procedures that the public is welcome to attend. It is an exce... more...
