Many people facing divorce underestimate the emotions, unpreparedness and overdependence during the divorce process which can affect their psychological and financial well-being. Many become overwhelmed by the myriad of changes which occur at a swift pace, the number of decisions which must be made and tasks associated with the divorce process. Emotions often influence the decisions which must be made and is often at the forefront throughout the divorce process. When making decisions such as who will keep the marital home, emotions often play a part as the marital home is connected to so many family memories. Allowing emotions to play an overactive role in this decision may create additional financial burdens when unanticipated expenses arise especially if the budget only included the mortgage and insurance.
Emotions also contribute to the progress of completing a divorce proposal. When allowing anger to dictate, one spouse may choose not to cooperate or agree to any proposal that the other spouse suggests. This often prolongs the divorce process thus not only creating more of an emotional toll but also adding to the overall financial price tag.
As the divorce process proceeds, becoming psychologically prepared to face the complexity of issues surrounding divorce and also equipped with financial records and other pertinent marital information for informed decision making is imperative. The tasks involved in preparing for divorce can be complex and when coupled with emotions it can become difficult to maintain a balance of emotions and wise decision making. While working toward the tasks involved in preparing to separate your life from that of your mate, it is best to be prepared in advance by learning to place your emotions aside when making decisions. This will help to ensure that decisions are informed and less emotionally based.
Allowing time mentally and physically to adequately prepare for divorce is of utmost importance when making decisions for the future. The lack of preparedness often relinquishes one’s power as he is not proactive toward becoming prepared and often tends to depend on professionals to help make life decisions. Overdependence on divorce professionals may limit personal control and satisfaction of the final outcome. Requiring professionals to meet personal needs and limiting personal responsibility for informed decisions can result in dissatisfaction with the final outcome as time had not been taken to reflect how decisions would affect each family member as well as life after divorce. The lack of being prepared may lead to additional emotional problems thus living with life after divorce in less than optimal circumstances. Learning to become proactive in one’s divorce issues may reduce expense as it lessens the dependence and increases the power for your future.
