We know that when you engage with a family law issue, there are a number of factors at play that can cause high levels of stress and discontent. In order to achieve the best outcome, our team of family law experts at Lapointe Family Law has compiled tips to help guide you through it. 

Start As You Mean To Go

A breakdown in relationships can be acutely stressful and emotional for all parties involved. Ensure that you take on legal advice as early as possible so that the issue can be resolved as soon as possible. This will help you remain both calm and focused on the matter at hand. Starting off this way instead of becoming overwhelmed by the potential resentment and hurt means that you set yourself up to hopefully continue in this manner to achieve a swift and successful resolution.

Embrace Honesty And An Atmosphere Of Open Communication

When there is an environment of respect, openness and transparency, matters get handled quickly and efficiently without growing animosity from hidden information which is later revealed. It would be worse still to give in to the temptation to seek revenge or be spiteful which only creates a hostile relationship dynamic that can be detrimental to potential co-parenting matters in the future, for example.

Consider Both The Short Term And Long Term Goals

There may be instances in which your short and long-term goals will align, but we advise that you also consider the fact that what you need in the near future does not always represent your needs later on. Matters such as pensions and how to address or handle parenting issues as the children age may be a very good starting point when looking at your different goals.

Look Forward Not Back

Blame or micro-assessment of past actions will simply not help your case. Instead, focus on the outcomes you would like to achieve and what you would like to work towards instead of viewing this as an opportunity to punish your ex-partner.
