Divorce is a time of emotional upheaval. It is all but certain that as you work your way through the process that situations will arise that will cause anger, resentment, confusion, and hostility. Some of these situations are unavoidable and par for the course. Others may arise in an effort to provoke a response or a reaction. Whether you respond or react (for they are two very different approaches) can have a significant impact on the ultimare resolution of your divorce.
So, what is the differnce between a response and a reaction? And why are those differences important? In my view, everty action that is taken during a divorce case must be designed to furhter the goal of realizing the best possible outcome for a client. A response is a measured, deliberate, and constructive measure. In contrast, a reaction is often a knee-jerk, emotionally charged impulse.
When situations develop in your case, rely on your attorney to make the appropriate response. Take time to digest what is happening so as to avoid making a counterporductive reaction .
