Managing the Readiness Gap

Family lawyer helps couple navigate emotional readiness differences during uncontested divorce process

Understanding Different Readiness Levels in Divorce

Very rarely do both people come into an uncontested divorce process equally ready to move through it. Usually one person has been considering a change for a longer period of time and the other person is playing a bit of catch up. This readiness gap introduces emotional reactivity into critical decision-making discussions.

How Emotional Timing Affects Separation Decisions

While our unique uncontested divorce approach often expedites things, it also simplifies them immensely. By simplifying the separation process and providing timely knowledge and advice, couples spend less time stuck in emotional uncertainty.

Neutral Legal Guidance Reduces Oppositional Conflict

Having a joint family lawyer also sets a tone of neutrality so you can work through these decisions from a problem solving perspective instead of from an oppositional position. Clients report that scheduled meetings and firm timelines prove crucial for facing their changing reality. When couples see the finish line clearly, collaborative progress accelerates.
