Three tips for reducing divorce conflict

When heading into divorce, a lot of people worry about the amount of conflict they’re going to face. After all, many people seek marriage dissolution when they’re no longer able to communicate with their spouse in a way that prevents heated disputes. To avoid this conflict, some individuals simply rush through their divorce to get the matter over with as quickly as possible. But moving hastily through the process risks putting you in danger of missing out on the outcome you deserve.

Strategies to avoid conflict in your divorce

Although you might not be able to avoid conflict altogether in your divorce, you might be able to significantly minimize it. Here are three ways:

  1. Reduce contact: If you can minimize contact with your spouse or at least have your communications filtered through your attorney, you can reduce the back-and-forth that often spurs disagreement. So, try to find other ways to talk, such as by text messages or email, and communicate only when necessary.
  2. Don’t get tangled up in the past: It’s easy to dredge up issues from the past during your divorce, probably because you, your spouse or both are hurt from them. But focusing on those issues will only lead to conflict. Therefore, try to stay focused on the issues at hand.
  3. Be careful with social media: As you go through your divorce, you should restrict your social media’s privacy so that your spouse can’t access it. Even so, you should be careful with what you post on social media, as it can fuel your spouse’s anger and hurt, thereby causing conflict that’s not really tied to any of the divorce legal issues that you’re facing.

Find a way to navigate the challenges of your divorce

You’re likely to face numerous challenges as you head into your divorce, including potential conflict with your spouse. For that reason, before entering the marriage dissolution process, you should carefully think through what you can do to educate yourself and plan for your future. Hopefully then you’ll be able to develop the legal strategy necessary to position yourself for success.
