Tip 1 - When you are going through your divorce proceedings and need to speak with your ex directly then it is crucial that you make a note of everything that takes place. Not only should you note the date and time that any conversation with your partner took place but how long it lasted for. Also make sure to write down exactly what the conversation with them was about.

Tip 2 - Avoid making promises to your partner at this time because you are feeling guilty that your marriage hasn’t survived. Most people when faced with an awkward situation especially during divorce proceedings will make promises in order to avoid them. But if you make these promises and cannot keep them then the chances of you losing more when the divorce is finalised will be greatly increased.

Tip 3 - Throughout your divorce proceedings you must ensure that you take care of yourself. This means ensuring that you eat well and get plenty of sleep. Also it is worth taking up some form of exercise at this time to help get rid of some of the stress and tension that you are feeling during this time. Not only will you be more alert and able to concentrate better on important issues that could affect your divorce settlement but you will find dealing with the whole situation becomes a lot easier.
