Divorcing in a Pandemic

Ex-it Strategy

In This Episode:

• During the pandemic there has been an increase in domestic violence. We have to protect people in violent relationships. That's something we've observed just as family law enterprise.
• We also talk about coming out of the pandemic (we hope), and what we've learned just in our practice, people staying at home together. Did it make their situation better or worse?
• What do you do when you and your spouse or ex have different opinions on vaccinations, even before the pandemic?
• How has covid changed the dating environment for people who have gone through separation/divorce, and now they find themselves getting back in the playing field. COVID has complicated dating for sure.
• That's why our job is challenging sometimes is that people are on different ends of the spectrum and can't find a middle ground and if it becomes a legal issue like a separation or custody agreement, it can be difficult to navigate those challenges without some outside help, especially when people find themselves at an impasse or tend to bring out the worst in each other.
• We talk through the crazy housing market and how to deal with that. Some couples may not be able to afford to purchase two new places either financially or because of availability and find themselves faced with learning how to live together with their ex.
• Our job, as your attorney, is to let you live your life and parent your children. We get to be the bitch. We get to determine when to talk to the other party.
• Our job is to get you out of this mess and let you work on yourself.
• We discuss whether we feel that virtual mediations are still as effective as in-person mediations were pre-COVID or do they have their advantages or disadvantages?
• Question: Have you seen or heard a lot of people that just feel like right now it's too expensive to get divorced with some of the stuff that happened with COVID?

Help your friends who may be going through a divorce go from victim to victorious and bitter to better.
