Keeping stress levels down cheering the battles.
Going through the divorce process can be an extremely stressful time, especially when there are children involved. Child custody battles can be quite emotionally draining and difficult to handle, especially when both parents feel that they should have custody of the children.
This stressful situation can cause family dysfunction and can even cause you to lose focus at work. It is important that you do your best to keep stress levels down during this time.
Dr. Ira Turkat suggests that you work closely with your attorney, and leave no stone unturned if you truly believe that you are in the right. Lying will only add to your stress levels.
Some parents, in desperation, falsely accuse the other parent of turning their children against them. This will only make the custody battle more difficult to resolve and more stressful.
By telling the truth and knowing that you are aiming for the best arrangement possible for your children you can know that no matter what the court decides it will likely be in the best interests of your children. Doing right by your children should guide you both inside the courtroom and outside the courtroom, and by focusing on getting the best result for your children you can try to stop worrying about yourself.
