I've worked in more than 30 countries around the world, dealing with conflict, and negotiating in high pressured situations, but nothing prepared me for divorce!
My goal was to spend the smallest amount I could on legal fees and see my children as much as possible. I also wanted to get on with my life rather than being swamped by negativity and conflict.
I knew that if I was going to achieve this, I had to think and approach divorce differently. I learned how to manage my emotions, reduce conflict with my spouse and secure access to my children.
I found the best ways to reduce the cost of divorce.
I worked out how I could develop and maintain a loving and influential relationship with my children, even over long distances.
In some ways, divorce was the best thing that ever happened to me. It gave me the WAKE UP call I needed. I took control of my life and my health and enriched and grew my social life.
Of course, I made mistakes along the way. But I learned from them.
And you can learn as you go too, but errors in divorce can carry a hefty cost.
