NY family law attorney Ken Jewell shares his advice for people facing divorce in New York. He advises that anyone facing divorce should remain calm, think rationally, and maintain respect for their spouse. It is important to preserve the status quo that existed during the marriage, as many cases become complicated due to mistrust—whether it’s suspicion of financial misconduct or negative talk about the other parent in front of the children. These behaviors tend to prolong the divorce, increase costs, and make the process more difficult. By respecting their spouse as a human being, regardless of past actions during the marriage, clients are more likely to experience a smoother, faster, and ultimately more satisfactory divorce.
