People ask when is a good time to get divorced. There is really never a good time to get divorced. It is really not good to be involved in litigation or conflict. This is a fight you should not be in unless you have to be in it. But if you have to be in one, make sure you have your ducks in a row: Treat the other person with respect and how you would want to be treated. The judge hearing your case will look at each party’s demeanor and behavior throughout the case in determining credibility. In the end, if a divorce is inevitable, you will want to come out on top by acting the right way, even if the other individual is acting wrongly. It pays off in the end. Your attorney is there to act as a buffer, to advise you, and to defend you however, what you do or do not do will be discussed and brought up in testimony.
