While everyone’s lives have been affected by the recent Coronavirus pandemic, those going through a divorce may be wondering what happens next. In Michigan, courts have been closed and law firms have been forced to work remotely. While judges will soon be handling remote cases, it will take some time to get through the back-log.

At our firm, we’re happy to still be open and accepting clients should you need assistance. Remember, we’re all in this together and you are not alone.

Here are a few things to consider if you’re going through a divorce or child custody arrangement and feel like it’s been put on hold:

1. Just because your case has stalled, it doesn’t mean that you should suddenly settle or make arrangements with your ex that you don’t agree with. This too shall pass, and you’ll be able to have your time in front of a judge or in mediation.

2. Take this time to consider what you really want. If your divorce was moving too fast or in the wrong direction, you can now regroup and examine if your stipulations were being met or not, or if you felt you’d been over-compromising.

3. Consider virtual mediation. If you don’t want to wait to continue your divorce, virtual mediation can happen and be legally binding. This will involve you, your ex and a mediator who can help you reach agreements relating to divorce and child custody.

So you’ve done your research, weighed your options and thought long and hard about what’s best for yourself and your family. If you’ve settled on divorce, we know it’s something you’re taking seriously and a decision that’s not easy to make.

Perhaps the most difficult conversation to come is the one you need to have with your spouse to let them know how you’re feeling and the conclusion you’ve come to.

As your partner in family law matters, we’d like to offer some guidance on how to approach the situation.

How to Tell Your Spouse The Difficult News

• Go over the conversation in your head so that you can decide on your ultimate goals and what you hope to achieve from the conversation. Do you want to simply tell them how you’re feeling or do you want to begin to make an exit plan for the marriage that involves their input? If children are involved, you’ll also want to discuss how you’re going to let them know and include your partner in that conversation.

• Remain sensitive—chances are, you aren’t catching your spouse off-guard, but that’s always a possibility as well as the fact that they may not have fully anticipated this conversation. This likely wasn’t an easy decision you made, so it’s also going to be difficult for them to come to terms with at first. Consider this—if the roles were reversed, ask yourself what you’d react like, and put yourself in their shoes for the experience so you can better decide how to go about things in a mature way.

• If you don’t think it’s going to go well or feel unsafe, consider doing so with a mediator present or a therapist. It’s important that you feel completely safe speaking with your spouse, and if you think they may react in a violent way, whether it’s verbal or physical, you should not be alone with them for that.

• Remain centered and confident. This is the decision you’ve come to, so you need to convey it correctly and firmly. Practice visualizing the conversation and speaking without hesitation so your spouse can hear you loud and clear.

After the dust of your divorce settles, learning to find your “new normal” can take a bit of time and work—but that’s completely normal.

One of the biggest obstacles you’ll notice is learning to deal with any new emotional triggers as you begin dating or entering a new relationship. These are often a direct result of the lasting impression your ex may have left on your emotions, and coming to terms with them is going to be essential for a successful new relationship.

As your partner in divorce and family law, we want to help you have the most successful new relationship as possible. Here are a few ways to identify and cope with any emotional triggers lingering from your divorce.

1. Tune-on to what or who triggers an intense emotional response from you. Sometimes, it can be a smell, a person or even a word. If you notice yourself feeling down, upset, or angry, backtrack and dig into what could have led you there emotionally.

2. Pay attention to repeating thoughts. There’s a reason they’re on your mind constantly, and can play a big role in the feelings you’re experiencing.

3. If you’re feeling triggered, remove yourself from the situation. Try to focus on your breath to center yourself and relax the brain by inhaling through your nose and exhaling through the mouth.

4. Never gloss over your feelings. You have every right to feel them and process them in your own time, and no one else gets to make you feel bad for that. Be conscious of “delaying” your emotions and suppressing them.
