5 Things to Know Before Asking for a Divorce During the Holidays

Relationship breakdowns -- and breakups -- don't stop because just the calendar says it's the holidays.
If anything, the stressors of the season -- parties filled with seemingly happy couples and the promise of the coming new year--can send already fragile relationships into a death spiral.  Buried beneath the wrapping paper and holiday cheer, many of us are struggling with the state of our marriages. 
If you're among those facing the end of a relationship, Michelle Crosby, in this posting on the Huff Post Divorce blog offers a few thoughts on how to best manage your emotions and actions through the holidays.
Divorce is never easy. The holidays add an additional level of complexity and context that should not be ignored -- not just because of the immediate discomfort, but also because of the potential long-term side effects that could poison your relationship with your kids, extended family and the holidays themselves.

We will be happy to discuss the key details of your situation, address any concerns and help you decide if divorce mediation would be beneficial.
