there are a lot of aspects to divorce
00:06
and it’s not only the legal process
00:10
which is effectively the business
00:13
aspects of dissolving the contract of
00:15
your marriage but it’s so much more and
00:18
I like to think about that or encourage
00:20
clients to think about that as
00:22
concentric circles all of these circles
00:25
influence the legal process but most of
00:28
them must be dealt with individually as
00:31
well and it’s helpful to have an
00:33
awareness of the other aspects that are
00:35
impacting you as you’re traveling
00:37
through the legal divorce process some
00:39
of the aspects to consider either before
00:42
consulting with an attorney or during
00:45
that process are the emotional divorce
00:47
you know what you’re experiencing as
00:50
part of the transition also the economic
00:52
divorce what it feels like to go from a
00:56
double earning household or you know a
00:59
household with a spouse that stays at
01:02
home to support the primary earner to
01:04
having just single earning households
01:06
the co parental divorce moving into a
01:09
parenting relationship if you do have
01:12
children that’s in more than one
01:15
household and the under individuals that
01:17
will also be part of that Co parental
01:19
experience may be new partners new
01:22
relationships also there’s a community
01:25
divorce the way that you experience
01:29
community may be shared friends shared
01:33
social circles being at school with your
01:36
children maybe Church relationships or
01:39
other shared interests and activities
01:41
that will change as you move into a
01:43
different different marital status also
01:47
there’s the psychic divorce the way that
01:50
you think about yourself as a single or
01:53
individual versus a married person all
01:56
of those pieces all of those circles
01:58
influence the way that you’re
02:00
experiencing the divorce process and I
02:03
would advise to a client to have an
02:06
awareness of those things and how that’s
02:08
influencing the legal process and
02:10
making sure that you’re attending to
02:12
those outside as you go through the
02:14
business of dissolving your divorce in a
02:18
legal manner
