Divorce is never an easy decision. Choosing a lawyer to help guide you through the process is also difficult and could be daunting. In order to make the decision it is helpful to obtain the necessary information as to what it entails and how it all works. Divorce might very well be the most difficult time in your life, however you have to remember one thing: it is a means to an end and you are moving closer to a new beginning: the next chapter of your life. It is a very emotional time, as pent up anger and sadness pours out, but it is a part of the process, therefore if you embrace it, it will make it much easier. I suggest that during the process, my clients meet with a psychologist to provide them with the necessary tools to cope, and also to guide them on co-parenting with their soon to be ex-spouse if there are children involved. Being nasty, mean, stressed, or spiteful will only burn more energy and time. It is best to remain as objective as possible (easier said then done, yes) and to have fair expectations. Compromise, even if it did not work during your marriage is a must, to reach an amicable and speedy resolution.
