The emotional difficulties of divorce are immense, sometimes only exceeded by the complexities of navigating the complex legal terrain of family law. As emotions rise, finding a peaceful resolution to your conflicts becomes even more difficult. With over 100 years of experience, the divorce lawyers at MacVean Lewis Sherwin & McDermott PC in Middletown, NY, have some insights to share that may make your divorce easier and less stressful.

• There Is Rarely A Clear Winner: Many divorcing couples lose focus and begin concentrating on “beating” their spouses, instead of peacefully arranging their affairs. Your final settlement will involve a series of compromises, and it's very likely that neither party will get everything they want.
• Take Your Time: Impulsive decisions can either lead you into extended legal battles over details over relatively minor issues, or might tempt you to make concessions just to get the issue over with. The decisions you make in these matters may impact the rest of your life, so it's important to think them through carefully.
• Stay Focused On The Children: Many psychological studies have shown that fighting in front of your children can inflict serious, long-term emotional harm. Avoid the temptation to draw your children into it, and keep the arguments behind closed doors. A divorce is frightening enough for your kids without watching you fight.
