What Teddi Ann Barry can say in an interview on
Avoiding Court & Litigation When Getting Divorced
: 

    • Divorce is one of the most emotional events a person can experience. In fear, in despair, and often complete devastation people are often reacting and working from a place of confusion and anger.  This may lead to hiring the wrong attorney, not consulting experts before signing agreements, or failing to act when you should.

    • Court and litigation are rarely the answer. The best divorces are those that are handled privately between the parties in a time frame that allows the parties to have all the information without dragging matters out longer than necessary.
    • Consider gathering all of the financial information before you file for divorce. Having a clear picture of incomes, account balances, asset values, and marital debt before you start the legal process can save time and money.
    • Consider consulting with a lawyer together before retaining separate attorneys. Hearing the same information may help you keep the tension low and focused on resolving the divorce together.
    • Start with the end in mind. Knowing what you need to move forward after the marriage is over may help you better negotiate a settlement.
    • Seek a family therapist. For parenting time issues consider meeting with a family therapist to help give age-appropriate children a voice in the process and help you determine a parenting plan that is best for the children.

Remember, whatever led to the divorce, is behind you.  If you need counseling to address your emotions then get help.  Trying to negotiate a settlement when you are angry or out to hurt or punish one another will lead to wasted time and possibly a lot of money.
