Divorce litigation is emotional and can take a toll on your mental state. You can avoid anxiety and conflict in a number of ways. You can change the way you think about your spouse, walk away when emotions flare, use your lawyers as buffers, and always believe what your lawyer tells you. Don’t fall for threats and posturing or negotiate or settle on your own without legal counsel. Lastly, get to a post office box and secure your divorce paperwork. These simple strategies can greatly improve your mental state and keep you from becoming stressed during your divorce litigation.
