IDENTIFY PRIORITIES, GOALS, AND CONCERNS WHEN ENTERING DIVORCE

Law Office of Lori Crystal, LLC May 13, 2020

Ending a marriage requires individuals to rethink their plans and goals for the future. While it can be difficult to know exactly what life might look like in the future when going through a divorce, getting clear on goals, concerns, and priorities is extremely helpful when working toward the best possible outcome. Sharing these details with a Colorado family law attorney will help legal counsel to work on an individual’s behalf more effectively.

While there are some patterns and legal systems in place to guide divorces, no two breakups are quite the same. Each party has his or her own unique priorities, personal goals and concerns. Those with more clarity about what they want, and what they most want to protect themselves from, can fare better because they are better able to articulate their position and work toward resolving the most important issues to them.

For some, priorities are very clear. Others, however, may need to put some work into defining what they want and where they stand. Talking it out with another person can help to bring clarity, as can writing thoughts and feelings down. It is also important to think about all the details, including other people who are implicated, in order to propose solutions that do not harm anyone else.

Once priorities are established, an individual can more effectively establish goals. The goals should be in line with legal realities and a plan should be in place to achieve these ends through negotiations or other legal options. A Colorado family lawyer can help individuals clarify their goals and options when working through a divorce.
