If you are recently divorced you probably haven’t thought about the changes that are going to come from having to deal with the post divorce process. Divorce and child custody does not end once you have signed your divorce decree. Changes in your divorce regarding the custody of your children is forever going to be evolving as your children grow and their needs change.
You are going to have to accept that you are going to have to adapt as things change throughout your children’s lives and that your time in a courtroom is likely not finished. Even if you and your ex-spouse are co-parenting really well, if things like child support and custody visitation need to be changed they need to be done in writing.
Learning Patience
We understand that not everyone is born with the same level of patience as others. Having to share your children is something that requires a great deal of patience and understanding. If you are not a naturally patient person you are going to need to teach yourself to be patient as you learn the new ways of how things are going to work. The more patient you can be, both with yourself, your children, and your ex-spouse the better you are going to be able to manage the upcoming years.
Post divorce changes can be both simple and stressful. Depending on how well you and your children’s other parent are getting along, you may not have to worry about any anger appearing later in your divorce case. However, if the divorce and custody case has never been easy, you should expect to have to deal with it many more times over the coming years as you raise your children.
The Right Attorney
We can not stress enough how important it is to have the right attorney at your side during a child custody case. You want to pick an attorney who you feel comfortable getting to know over the years and allowing to handle your case as it progresses and changes. If you can keep the same attorney for the entire life of your post divorce case, it will be easier for you. As you switch attorneys you have to give them time to understand your case, if you have the same attorney you can really just pick up right where you left off.
The sooner you and your ex-spouse learn to co-parent together the easier your life is going to be. Your children are also going to benefit from having you there to help them along the way. Learn to be patient and find a great attorney that you trust to be there for you throughout the years.
