TRANSCRIPT:
A divorce is one of the most difficult and traumatic events that can occur during your life. It is emotional, tries your patience, tests your endurance, and can wear you down emotionally, psychologically, and physically. While our firm represents both men and women in divorce cases, today, I want to focus on the ten mistakes I see men make in divorces over and over again. If you are a man going through a divorce, it is important that you review these and compare them to your own behavior, it could save you some heartache and could affect the outcome of your case:
1. Underestimating the seriousness of divorce
Divorce is a very serious process. There are deadlines and timelines that have to be met throughout your case. One part of the process is called discovery where you will be required to answer certain questions and produce documents. Often, our male clients have difficulties meeting the deadlines for producing documents and answering the questions asked by opposing counsel or getting back to us with answers that we need in order to move forward with their cases. This is usually due to the deadlines and tasks they have to complete for their employers. However, it is also very important that you meet the deadlines set by the Court, by the Rules of Civil Procedure, and by your attorney in your divorce case.
1. Failing to admit you need help
Like I mentioned earlier, divorce is difficult. You will experience all the various stages of grief while going through your divorce and even for months and sometimes years after. Men take pride in their ability to be tough, strong, and independent. While these are admirable traits, it is important that while you are going through your divorce and even afterwards that you reach out for help when you need it. There is no shame in talking to a counselor of pastor about your feelings and the steps you can take to move forward in the healthiest manner possible.
1. Stop working to avoid child or spousal support
Many clients have a mistaken belief that if they quit their job, engage in behaviors that cause them to lose their job, or otherwise take a voluntary paycut during their divorce that the judge will see that they no long have the ability to pay child support and alimony. The Judge in your case is more concerned about your ability to earn money than he or she is about what you are actually earning. If your Wife’s attorney can show that you have deliberately or voluntarily reduced your income, he or she is not going to be happy about that. You may end up paying the same amount of child support or spousal support as you would have with the higher paying job without the current income to pay it. Even worse, it will have tarnished your reputation with the judge; and once you lost that, you may never get it back.
