Divorce is one of life’s most challenging experiences. It involves not only emotional pain but also the necessity of making numerous organizational and legal decisions. This is a time to focus on your mental health and ensure stability for yourself and your loved ones.

If there are children involved, their well-being should be the priority. In such moments, the help of specialists – lawyers, mediators, and therapists – can significantly ease the transition through this difficult process. Mediation is an effective way to reach an agreement, and therapy can help you process emotions and find the strength to start a new chapter in life.

What to do in a divorce situation?

Take care of your emotions

  • Find a safe space to express your feelings – crying, talking with friends, or journaling can be helpful.
  • Seek support from a therapist who can help you understand your emotions and find peace amidst the chaos of change.
  • Avoid isolation – connecting with loved ones can be crucial during difficult times.
  • Find ways to reduce stress, such as meditation, physical activity, or hobbies you enjoy.
  • Remember that emotions are natural, but their intensity can change over time.

Understand your rights and responsibilities

  • Consult with a lawyer specializing in divorce. They will explain basic legal matters such as asset division, alimony, and child custody.
  • Look for online guides or brochures available at legal aid centers – many organizations provide free materials.
  • If possible, schedule a meeting with a legal advisor at your local family support center.
  • Consider the issue of debt division and shared financial obligations.
  • If you have a mortgage, contact your bank and explore options for its restructuring.

Consider mediation

  • If dialogue with your former partner is possible, mediation can help you reach an agreement.
  • Schedule a mediation session where a mediator will support you in discussing topics such as asset division, child custody, and alimony.
  • Thanks to mediation, you can avoid costly and lengthy court disputes.
  • If you are concerned about direct contact with your former partner, you can ask the mediator to facilitate discussions indirectly (e.g., exchanging information via email

Take care of the children

  • Open an honest dialogue with them – adapted to their age and needs – to explain what is happening and assure them they are loved.
  • If possible, ensure a consistent and shared message to the children with your partner.
  • Consult a child psychologist who can help children understand the changes and cope with their emotions.
  • Establish clear rules with your former partner regarding child care and contact, prioritizing their well-being.
  • Consider different care models, such as:
    • Shared custody – the child spends equal time with both parents.
    • Sole custody – the child lives with one parent, and the other has established visitation rights.
    • Joint custody – both parents make decisions together, even if the child has one primary residence.

Consider individual therapy

  • Therapy will not only help you process emotions related to divorce but also regain a sense of self-worth and peace.
  • Together with a therapist, you will develop tools to cope with the new situation and plan the next steps in your life.
  • If you have difficulty accepting the situation, you can also join support groups for divorced individuals.
  • It’s also beneficial to work on assertiveness, especially in the context of ongoing relationships with your former partner.

Take care of your future

  • Develop a new financial and professional plan, adapted to your current situation.
  • Consider taking new courses, learning new skills, or changing jobs if necessary.
  • Set new priorities and goals – divorce is the end of one stage, but also the beginning of a new chapter in your life.
  • Remember that you have the right to happiness and to pursue your dreams.
