Managing
certain
factors
in
a
sensible
manner
could
control
high
costs
of
your
divorce.
Could
you
afford
to
pay
a
fortune
as
your
attorney
fees?
Learn
to
be
wise
and
do
not
commit
the
following
mistakes:
Being
unaware
of
the
legal
process:
Many
couples
do
not
know
what
they
want
to
accomplish
through
their
divorce.
It
is
important
for
one
to
discuss
their
goals,
objectives
and
expected
results
by
talking
to
a
divorce
lawyer
even
before
filing
or
responding
to
divorce
proceedings.
It
is
important
that
you
hire
a
professional
lawyer
who
is
experienced
and
who
would
explain
to
you
the
whole
process
as
a
way
of
guiding
you
through
your
divorce.
After
studying
your
case
and
knowing
your
expectations
the
attorney
would
be
able
to
advice
you
about
the
impending
costs
of
your
divorce.
Failing
to
weigh
the
cost
against
the
advantage
of
each
contested
decision:
Some
women
especially
make
the
serious
mistake
of
fighting
for
every-thing.
They
should
realize
that
the
more
they
fight,
the
costlier
the
process
becomes
and
the
more
they
end
up
paying
higher
legal
fees
and
costs.
Considering
the
high
legal
fees,
some
things
may
not
be
worth
the
fight.
It
is
therefore
advisable
to
always
weigh
the
cost
of
a
fight
against
the
benefit
one
would
derive
if
successful
in
his
or
her
efforts.
Con-fusing
emotional
issues
with
business
interests:
Divorce
normally
affects
the
emotional
and
business
aspects
of
a
relationship.
A
legal
process
of
divorce
deals
only
with
business
aspects
such
as
assets,
debts,
alimony
and
child
support,
etc.
Emotional
issues
such
as
depression,
anger,
etc.
are
not
dealt
with
in
a
lawyer¡¦s
office
or
a
court.
These
issues
must
be
addressed
with
friends,
family
or
a
thera-pist.
Due
to
strong
emotions
that
typically
run
high
along
with
a
divorce,
many
spouses
tend
to
share
their
emotions
with
their
divorce
lawyer.
An
emotional
person
ends
up
paying
enormous
fees
as
the
hourly
rate
of
the
lawyer
goes
high.
In
other
words,
the
lawyer
gets
a
therapist's
fee
also
along
with
his
legal
fees.
It
would
be
better
to
stop
confusing
your
need
for
emotional
divorce
and
recovery
with
business
deci-sions
of
separating
assets
and
debts.
Viewing
a
divorce
as
a
contest:
Generally
women
tend
to
put
too
much
emotional
value
on
¡§winning¡¨
the
final
contest
with
their
spouses.
They
are
hurt
and
so
they
wish
to
hurt
their
spouses
too
as
a
way
of
retaliation.
They
fail
to
assure
themselves
of
a
good
situation
when
the
divorce
is
completed.
It
is
better
to
deal
with
your
pain
separately.
Because
each
attempt
to
hit
back
at
your
spouse
may
rebound
and
injure
you
further.
Do
not
look
at
your
divorce
as
a
contest.
Remember,
you
need
to
raise
your
children
in
a
good,
positive
environment
even
after
a
divorce.
Keep
in
mind
that
your
spouse's
relationship
with
your
children
is
more
important
and
productive
than
your
own
personal
feelings.
Recognizing
and
managing
your
behavior
could
considerably
save
you
from
spending
a
fortune
on
your
divorce
lawyer.
