1. Treat your spouse as you would a co-worker — respect your differences, value their contribution to the common goal, try to understand their viewpoint, do not be afraid to disagree and remember that you are on the same team.
2. Divorce is tough, but staying in a bad marriage is tougher.
3. Lead by example and show your children that you and your spouse can resolve your differences without a Judge deciding your fate.
4. Do not stay in a bad marriage for the benefit of your children. They will be happier if you are happier.
5. Don’t blame the “other woman” for stealing your spouse. She didn’t cheat on you, he did.
6. Try to remove emotion from your divorce. The best revenge is moving on with your life.
7. Listen to your intuition and your divorce lawyer when going through a divorce. Your friends and family are there to help you, but they cannot walk in your shoes.
