Carefully and thoughtfully! That’s always my advice!
As a divorce attorney and medically trained professional, I work with spouses
all the time in relationships who are married to spouses who are mentally
unstable and sometimes abusive. These are painful marriages filled with
sadness, anger, turmoil and sometimes fear.
We see all kinds of people today suffering with mental health issues in
the news, but what is not often discussed is how many marriages are suffering
deeply and eroding from the effects of mental health problems.
I have worked with countless frightened spouses, abused wives, and distraught,
confused husbands. Mental health issues in marriages have been on the
rise and destroying couples and families, especially in the past few years.
Divorce is about people, their psychology and the emotional health of a
couple. The traditional divorce system is an adversarial, lengthy, and
costly process which completely ignores the psychological component of
divorce and is far more interested in conflict and cost.
During over 35 years of practice as a divorce attorney, psychologically-trained
medical professional, and court-appointed mediator, I have heard the cries
of many spouses and developed a psychologically-based divorce process
that is highly effective, whether litigating or mediating, and most importantly, healing.
My divorce method involves behavior modification, the use of psychology
- identifying personality and character traits, emotions, family dynamics,
and skillfully applying the law to develop strategies tailored to each
case for a more productive and positive experience.
My approach is less adversarial, less expensive, and less time-consuming
than the traditional system.
I engage couples in a productive discussion and effective decision-making,
which leads to healthier, more positive outcomes.
Unlike the standard divorce approach, this method takes into consideration
the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that affect divorcing couples, and
which, if properly identified, can be used to leverage a more successful
and calmer outcome.
My process addresses the pervasive presence of mental health issues that
often result in verbal abuse in its many hidden forms which include:
- Criticizing
- Hiding finances
- Blaming
- Controlling
- Threatening
- Denial
- Insulting
- Withholding
- Ignoring
- Gas lighting
- Separating from friends and family
- Verbal abuse disguised as joke
Most attorneys treat divorce as a purely legal (and adversarial) experience.
I don’t!
Divorce is not based solely on the law. It’s about people! That includes
the psychological make-up of both you and your spouse.
I know taking this step won’t be easy, but gaining your freedom and
happiness will be worth it.
