Dissolution can be a long process with many stages-during which feelings can change. The adversarial process will typically cause more emotion and strain and once clients begin the litigation process, it can be very hard to reconcile. Divorce-or the threat of filing divorce-should never be used as a way to bargain with a spouse, or a way to get a spouse to change, to “make them understand I really mean it this time.” Bluffs only work once and divorce is not a game to be played like chicken.
Only an experienced and knowledgeable attorney who practices extensively with families in high conflict and highly emotional cases can successfully help families navigate the details of litigation, and even the possibilities of reconciliation. The attorneys at Paule, Camazine and Blumenthal have had extensive experience in steering families through the difficult divorce process-and have even helped to bring some families back together.
