Divorce occasionally leads to a situation where both spouses have difficulty reaching an agreement. The disagreements are usually over division of property and other assets, child and spousal support, and particularly child custody. They can lead to a prolonged and long-drawn-out legal process, leaving both parties exhausted from each other and at a dead-end with the divorce process.
Two main reasons why divorces take so long to finalize is because of the overwhelming emotions from both spouses getting in the way of the process, and choosing the “wrong” lawyer. Some emotionally damaged spouses seek revenge in the legal form and want to make their spouse pay for what they did wrong. It also does not help when they choose a lawyer who makes the divorce lengthier by making the situation more litigious.
What I recommend to any couple seeking divorce is to be realistic and to consider what is most important, for the sake of your own self and those around you. Do not be vindictive, and choose a lawyer who will benefit both spouses and any children caught in the storm.
