For some, a contested divorce doesn’t significantly change the final outcome, yet the costs can be substantial. The adversarial nature of the legal process itself often further damages the relationship between the parties involved. When children are part of the equation, this increased deterioration of the parental relationship is almost always detrimental to their well-being after the divorce.
“I was in prison, and you came to me.” — Matthew 25:36
Understanding Contested Divorce Proceedings
In many divorce cases, issues like the division of marital property, child custody, and other matters are quite predictable, even when the action is contested. This predictability often lessens the need for a contested process, especially when both parties are seeking a divorce without attempting to harm or humiliate their spouse. Often, in contested divorces, parties may harbor unreasonable expectations. Lawyers, in an effort to meet these goals—no matter how unreasonable—sometimes try to break the opposing party’s will by making the litigation difficult, expensive, cumbersome, or even humiliating. While lawyers can sometimes succeed in achieving these unreasonable goals, it’s important to understand the broader impact.
The Predictability of Outcomes and Unreasonable Expectations
- Contested divorces often increase costs and damage parental relationships, negatively impacting children.
- Divorce outcomes are frequently predictable, reducing the need for hostile legal battles.
- Unreasonable client expectations can drive aggressive litigation, despite predictable results.
Divorce, especially when the divorcing couple have minor children, is often the wrong decision. Divorce rarely solves anything since it cannot erase the past or heal wounds. It does, however, substantially increase the cost of living as the couple goes from having one home to support to having two. I would encourage everyone who is considering divorce to do two things first:
