  1. What happened before your child was born is likely irrelevant
  2. While you might think having “dirt” on your ex is helpful, if it is from before the child is born that information is likely irrelevant. Likewise, if your ex knows something about you that happened before the child was born, it likely will not have a big effect, if any, on your case.

  3. Involving a mediator can make the process run more smoothly
  4. Divorces can be very contentious and this is especially true if your case goes to court. If you want things to move more smoothly, it might be a good idea to get a mediator involved. This can be beneficial in helping you talk through everything with your ex to come up with an agreement that works best for everyone.

  5. It is important to keep your cool
  6. Things can get heated, but it is important to keep your cool and have a level head. You need to maintain your composure and remember that all that matters is what is in the best interest of your child. This is why you should hire an attorney that can be level-headed and keep you focused on the task at hand.

  7. The court will make a decision in the best interest of the child(ren)
