Divorce and Separation

Marriage difficulties bring out the worst in most of us. But try to remember that if you do decide to divorce or separate, there are advantages in trying to keep things civil between you and your husband or wife.

• In the first place, the legal proceedings will cost less. There is no point wasting
  money over an argument if there is another way of reaching an agreement.
• If you have children, a bitter fight will only harm them. Try to put them first.
• A fight will also be more damaging for you. Once the divorce is over you have
  to get on with the rest of your life. It is harder to do this if you know that you
  have behaved badly.
