Divorce Lawyer

Unfortunately, the road to divorce is often very messy and paved with mistakes. It can feel like when you consider your marriage as a whole, the entire thing feels like one bad decision after another, so getting a divorce may feel like just another step on this path of things that have made your life more difficult. However, a divorce can be one of the best things you do for yourself and your family. Divorces can be difficult even when you know it is the right next step because there will always be challenges, such as financial and emotional. It is important that you speak with your lawyer during this time because right now is not a time you want to rely on yourself to get through the divorce, even if your spouse is encouraging you to go through with the divorce sans lawyer. A lawyer will be able to step back from the situation and see it completely differently, allowing you to avoid making mistakes during the process.

What To Avoid When You Get A Divorce

When you are getting a divorce, your Colorado divorce lawyer wants you to avoid certain things. 

  • Don’t use your kids against your spouse. When parents weaponize their children during a divorce, not only will it make the whole thing uglier, but it may end up turning the children against one or both parents. There will likely be some kind of trauma that comes with a divorce, even to a small degree. However, using your kids against your spouse to try to gain leverage is underhanded and will end up hurting your kids worst of all.
  • Don’t vent to social media. Your lawyer from Zweig Law, PC understands that it is tempting to try to get everyone on your side, especially when the divorce goes south. You may also feel a need to vent, talk about your situation, or get other people’s opinions. Social media can quickly rip apart your divorce arguments and it’s important to remember you should speak with your lawyer or wait to talk with a therapist.
  • Don’t ignore the judge’s orders. You may be tempted to disregard what the judge orders you and your now ex-spouse to do. However, doing so will only end up hurting you in the long run. These orders are not suggestions and you may end up with reduced time with your kids or even with more serious punishments, like landing in jail.

It is understandable that this is an extremely difficult time and you may feel like you can only hold so many things in your brain at once when you are getting a divorce. Your lawyers want to give you the opportunity to sort through your emotions and learn about what is important to you by handling the legal side of the divorce. This is not a process you should have to do on your own. When you are ready to move forward with your divorce, reach out to your local office.

    Steve was the person who scoured the details and the depositions finding all the extra details we needed for court. Cathy guided me through several tough meditations. All three are excellent, and they all have different approaches. I absolutely recommend this team, and I would use them again if needed! If you want to speak with me personally please let Maryjo know and I would be happy to recommend them personally to you. ”
