CHAPTER 1 Moving On
Divorce is undeniably a challenging and emotionally taxing experience. Even in the most amicable separations, it can be fraught with feelings of disappointment, breakdowns in communication, and unmet expectations, all fueled by underlying emotions such as anger, grief, and at times, even depression and denial. In the best-case scenarios, two individuals who are ending their union will collaborate to resolve their differences constructively and amicably, aiming to separate without causing harm or unnecessary conflict. Unavoidably, during the process of "conscious uncoupling" where both parties work towards a mutually agreeable resolution, you and your spouse’s emotions will fall prey to a myriad of changes as the marriage, family, and shared assets are legally separated. Adding to the stress is the sale of the family home, as it often represents the most significant asset of the marriage. Feelings of anxiety, sadness, frustration, and exhaustion are not uncommon during this process. The convergence of divorce-related stressors with the sale of the home demands patience, unwavering diligence, and considerable personal strength. It's crucial to acknowledge the vital role that seasoned and experienced professionals, including attorneys and real estate agents, play in guiding divorcing couples through this challenging phase of their lives. These professionals provide invaluable support and expertise, helping couples successfully navigate the complexities of property division and transition to their respective futures with clarity and stability.
