It can sometimes be easy to get caught up in bad behavior during the divorce process because it can be emotionally overwhelming for all parties involved. If you are in the process of or considering a divorce here are some simple dos and don’ts to consider before you do something that you later regret:
- Do not abuse social media. Today more and more people share carelessly a lot of information on Twitter, Facebook and other social media websites. It can be very tempting to share your relationship and divorce frustrations in an online public forum so you must understand your posts can reach a huge audience including unintentional recipients. Always look at the internet as being written in permanent marker meaning even though you may have deleted a post, it’s still out there in the ether and can be screencapped or saved.
- This may seem contradictory to advice your friends or peers give you but there is merit to limiting how much you involve your family and friends during your divorce. Of course, no one expects you to go through divorce alone, but it’s sometimes good to keep a neutral perspective by not letting the emotions of others affect you. It’s not uncommon for relatives, such as a mother or father, to have very strong opinions, usually supporting your side. While your parent’s opinion may feel great, don’t let it distract you from making smart decisions during the divorce. It’s very important to be aware of keeping the tension between you and your spouse minimum. Sometimes that may mean biting your tongue or not engaging in new fights.
- Stop looking back and focus on looking forward to your future. It is very normal that you need time to digest and process what has just happened in your life as you enter the divorce process. Some people take longer to do this than others, but in general, after a healthy grieving time, it’s time to move on. The best approach is to forgive yourself, forgive your partner and start looking ahead.
- While it’s important to not be selfish, it’s also important to understand what you want and areas you can find agreement in your divorce. There are many Tennessee couples that want their marriage to end amicably and with both individuals feeling satisfied. However, it’s very crucial that you do not accept any decisions that you do not fully understand. This is where an experienced family law attorney plays a key role in the divorce process. Be certain you understand every word in the divorce agreement you will have to sign.

“I spoke with several attorneys and from the moment I spoke with Donna I knew she was the person I wanted to hire for a child custody case.
From the very first interaction she was enthusiastic, friendly, and honest. She asked a lot of questions to get to know the case well. I was so impressed with how thorough and thoughtful she was throughout the entire process, explaining every step along the way.
Donna was great at staying in contact and kept me updated as everything progressed. She was affordable and very fair in her billing. If ever another situation is to arise in which I’m requiring legal assistance and representation she will be the first I call.
Due to Donna’s persistence I was able to come out ahead with more than I had ever hoped for when I first brought her my case. She helped me to see and understand things about my situation that would have never occurred to me on my own.
This woman has so much integrity! I’m so grateful for all of her help during a nerve wracking time. She was incredibly personable. I highly recommend Donna Wagner for your legal needs.

Anyhow, Donna came in and shut it all down. I was due in court in a week and she got that continued. After going back and forth with the opposing attorney, Donna was able to not only get them to settle the case without going to court but have everything ruled in my favor.

I obtained Mrs. Donna Wagner’s services in 2012 to help with my charge of driving under the influence. I first called several other attorneys, but none of them were willing to listen to my case. Mrs. Wagner not only took the time to listen but went out of her way to be sensitive to my issues, respond quickly to my questions, and help me understand this unfamiliar process. It was clear to me from the beginning that she knew the system well and was very thorough in her exploration into my case. With her experience and knowledge of the Mt. Juiliet court system, combined with her adept use of the evidence at hand, she was able to get my charges significantly reduced. I could not be more happy with my choice of attorney. I am certain that I would not have had such a successful outcome without her guidance and skill.
