Divorce LawyerI not too long ago overheard someone in a bookstore telling a group of people why they need to not have their very own attorneys, how they may not trust attorneys, how attorneys would cheat them and the way they should depend upon the company the speaker belonged to instead. Very few couples can agree on, establish, and amicably break up assets in a divorce and not using a lawyer. If you do not have children, have few belongings – should you entered the wedding owning your own vehicles and rented your property, for instance – and agree no spousal help is required of either celebration because, maybe, the marriage was short, you are able to do it yourself on-line.

Several years ago, one of my best girlfriends called me. Through tears, she said, “My husband left me for another woman.” It was horrible. I could not have felt worse for her.

From a recently separated reader:  I’m going through a divorce after 21 years of marriage and want to know how to survive divorce. Will I survive? I felt strong until we sold our house and I actually moved out. I’m sick, sad, and very depressed. I don’t know who I am without him and I don’t know how to be single and independent. How will I survive? 

  

Messages I receive like this one from people going through a divorce and wanting to know how to survive divorce are perhaps the most heartbreaking for me. I can only imagine this woman sitting at her computer feeling hopeless, tears in her eyes, typing this message and feeling lost.

My answer to the question, “Will I survive?” is HELL YES. Not surviving isn’t an option. Your loved ones (and children if you have them) need you to pull it together and not only
