The one thing that I always want clients to keep in mind as we move forward through the divorce process is whether or not something really is worth fighting over or whether or not it is something that can be negotiated out. Or even give it up during the process just to enable you to move on.
In my world, from where I stand, I’m very happy to fight for my client over anything that they want. But the question always becomes, is it an endless that produces nothing but frustration and great cost to my client that creates a dissatisfaction not only over the divorce process, but with life in general as they proceed to move on.

New York, NY divorce attorney, Ken Jewell gives strong advice for clients seeking a divorce. He emphasizes that one key point he always wants clients to keep in mind during the divorce process is whether an issue is truly worth contesting or if it is something that can be negotiated—or even set aside—to allow them to move forward.
From his perspective, he is fully prepared to advocate fiercely for any matter a client wants to pursue. Yet, he notes, the real question is whether pursuing it endlessly will only lead to frustration, high costs, and dissatisfaction—not just with the divorce itself, but with life as they try to move forward.
He encourages clients to weigh carefully what they are fighting for and to consider whether it will genuinely achieve the outcome they want. While he is willing to fight for anything, he reminds them that the ultimate goal is a resolution that serves their long-term interests, not just a short-term victory.
