Be Nice Through a Divorce - No Name Calling

By: Trevor Kassulke

At times it is hard to be nice; divorce can be one of those times. To make things easier on yourself and all of those you come in contact with you need to be able to work to make this divorce proceed as easily as possible.

You need to keep in mind that the divorce is just another chapter in your life. This phase will be over at some point and if you are nice and work through things with your ex while being as nice as you can you will find the unpleasant experience can be over much quicker. Drawing out a divorce for several months or even years while the two of you fight and argue over each and every point does nobody any good.

It is not recommended to call names either. When you resort to name calling you are lowering yourself to a very childish standard. Your divorce has taken away enough from your life; don't let it take your dignity as well. Remain calm and collected so that you can work through this difficult time and make it as painless as possible for you as well as others involved.

Never try and start trouble with your ex. You should be civil to each other and make sure that you are keeping your inner strength so that you are not tempted to start a fight. You should keep your cool and remember that it is always better when you are able to stay calm when you are discussing anything with the ex spouse.

You want to make your point across without getting upset or making the other person mad. You need to remember that you have to be part of this person's life for the rest of your life so you need to be good.

If you have children together and you are now getting divorced you need to be extra good. You never want to say anything bad about the divorce in front of the children no matter what age they are. You have a responsibility to protect these children and you do not want to put their emotional well being at risk for anything. You need to keep them out of the fight if there is one as much as possible so that they are not hurt in this battle.

Keep communications going between you and your ex. It is important to sit down and discuss the divorce. Your legal counsel should be present when possible and you both should be seeking what is fair. You don't want to settle for anything that is less than fair.

This is only fair and it is important that you keep in mind that it is not about revenge or being bitter. It is about getting on with your life and starting over. Keeping the peace is important so that this can go by as quickly and as painless as possible.
