Divorce: Fair or Despair?

Please read what I am about to say because it might be the difference for you with how your divorce process begins and ends, not to mention all the time in between. I am currently working with clients who are experiencing the wrath of soon to be ex husbands.

I will never understand how men can be so unkind and outright cruel to the women who were their wives and the mothers of their children. (It goes without saying that the opposite is true as well.)

Some of them started the divorce process on a bad note and the brutality of their actions continued from there. Some of them began the divorces and told their wives that they shouldn’t worry because they would always be fair. Some of the wives began the divorce process with the intention of being fair until they saw that fairness accomplishes nothing when a couple gets divorced. Some of the women began the divorce process angry and the anger has grown from there.

What is happening with almost all of the women I am coaching is the same. The ones who don’t have access to sufficient money to fight the system are being overlooked. Their needs and the needs of their children are being totally ignored.

Divorce in our country is at the mercy of the system which includes the judges, the lawyers and the ones who have the money. I hate to be disparaging about the divorce process but I see the same thing happen time and time again.

Please! Take heed of what I am saying and don’t assume anything about anybody. Don’t put your faith in anyone until you have had time to assess their ethics and their ability to show compassion for everyone, not just those with money.
