LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF DIVORCE

On Behalf of | Dec 5, 2017 | Uncategorized |

Even though no one wants their marriage to end in divorce, the fact of the matter is that almost 50% of New Jersey marriages will end in divorce. And while many times a divorce can be stressful, time-consuming, expensive, or some combination of the three, other times securing a divorce and deciding the issues of child custody, child support, alimony, and marital asset division can be a relatively straightforward process, especially when both parties are willing to communicate and find middle ground. 

That being said, regardless of whether your divorce is contentious, or resolved more amicably through negotiation, mediation, or divorce collaboration, it is important to remember the many positive affects divorce can have on your life, rather than focusing on the negatives. With this in mind, here are a few key ways in which your divorce can actually help to improve your life and your overall well-being.

Morristown Divorce Lawyers Discuss “Improving your mood and relationships with others”

Let’s face it, if your marriage is ending in divorce, one or more likely both parties are deeply unhappy with some aspect(s) of their life or current situation. This unhappiness can take a much larger toll than you may realize on your energy levels, productivity, and most importantly, on your relationships with friends, family, co-workers, and even new acquaintances.

By separating yourself from a constant source of unhappiness and stress, as difficult as it can feel in the moment, you are creating space in your life for much more positive feelings, moods, and attitudes, all of which can have significant benefits to your well-being, social life, and professional career.

Mt. Olive Child Custody and Divorce Attorneys and “Creating a better life for your children”

So beyond creating much more positive energy and momentum in your own life, a divorce can also allow you to have a much better relationship with your children, and help reduce some of the stress they may be experiencing in their own lives. Children are very observant and highly intuitive, if their parents are arguing or fighting they may not know why, but they will know that something is wrong. There is no way to hide feelings of anger, unhappiness, or stress from your children, so if your marriage is causing you to regularly experience these kinds of emotions, it may also be having a traumatic affect on your children as well.

While a divorce may never be the “ideal” scenario for a child, in reality it is often much better than the alternative of growing up in a household being shared by two parents who argue consistently and do not enjoy each other’s company.

Chester Family Law Firm Discusses “How divorce can improve your self-confidence”

The last point we would like to mention in our article today is how a divorce can actually improve your self-confidence and overall self-image. Many times, the sheer act of finally making the decision to divorce after months or even years of contemplation can bring about a strong feeling of empowerment. You are taking control of your life, even in the face of adversity and challenge.

And while no divorce is ever painless or easy, facing these challenges and overcoming them is something you can be extremely proud of. Many people do not have the willpower or strength to make this decision, or see it through to the end, but you do, and that makes you strong, adaptable, and ultimately in much greater control of your life. As difficult as divorce can sometimes be, this feeling of being in control of your life and the increased confidence in your self that you feel as a result is often worth the short-term stress your divorce may cause.
