When you are going through a divorce, there are certain things you want to avoid doing. Some of these things can hurt your case, while other things can hurt you or your children. Here's a look at some of the things you should never do when going through a divorce.

Never Refuse Mediation During a Divorce Settlement

Mediation will help with the business end of the divorce. This process can help you take the emotions out and allow you to take care of the assets.

Avoid Playing the Blame Game

The Blame Game is a horrible thing to get into playing. It will just lead to negative feelings and won't help in any way. You have to be aware of both your feelings and the feelings of the other people going through the divorce.

Don't Believe You Didn't Play Your Part

Even with a cheating spouse, you played your part in causing the divorce to happen. It takes two to make a relationship and it takes two to break the relationship, too. Be real with yourself and own up to what you did, too.

Avoid Assumption

Assuming anything about your attorney, your ex or anybody else involved can be dangerous. You may think the judge will rule in your favor or you may think your ex will try to destroy you. However, these assumptions can lead to hurt feelings without even knowing what will really happen.

Never Ignore the Feelings of Your Children

Your children don't get a choice in this matter and you don't want to make things worse by ignoring their feelings. Make sure you talk to them about what is going on and never refuse time with them when you get it.

There are many other things you want to avoid doing before, during and after a divorce. Make sure to avoid these things and anything else that could be damaging to you or anybody else involved.
