Just Keep Heading Toward the Light!

Getting Divorced?  Even in the most straightforward, uncontested divorce, where both parties agree on ALL matters in the dissolution of the marriage, the act of getting divorced is unpleasant and emotionally draining. What you thought you knew about your past, present, and future life is like a Polaroid picture that just won’t finish processing.

It’s difficult…it’s painful…it’s costly…and it’s downright scary. Every time you have to tell someone that you’re getting divorced is like an admission that you failed. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have done it before you, but this time it’s you…and you feel alone.

Wrong. If you think that, you’re just wrong. The last thing you are is alone. Even if it feels like all of your friends picked your soon-to-be ex’s side, you still have friends, you still have family, and when in need, you still have us. And, Markwell Law’s going to help you get through this.

You see, you have a light before you. Sometimes it’s just a twinkle and sometimes it’s blinding, but it’s there. As your legal team, we’re here to make sure that you can always see that light at the end of the getting divorced tunnel.

By the way, that light is called “Being Divorced” and it’s a whole new world…a fresh start…for you and your family

How do we keep that light in sight? By focusing on you, and not on your divorce. Of course, we’re going to make sure that everything happens on a timely basis and we’re fighting fiercely for what you want and need out of the final dissolution order, but we never forget that, someday, this will all be behind you and that you’ll be in a better place.

While you’re getting divorced, we’ll help you understand what is really important to you…and to your future happiness. Is spending money, time, and heartache battling over that wedding gift stand mixer worth it, especially when neither of you has baked so much as a single batch of cookies in the last 10 years? Of course not. If that’s the hill you want to die on, we’ll lead the charge, but it’s our job to help you pick the battles that actually matter and to help you win them.

We’ll probably win more of those battles than not, but we won’t win them all. It just doesn’t work like that, no matter how right you may be. That’s another part of getting divorced that we’ll help you get through, because we keep the end game in mind at all times…being divorced.

Being divorced, while filled with uncertainty, is an incredibly liberating place to be. It’s like that first day in Spring when you realize that you don’t need a coat anymore. Sure, in six months, you’ll need a coat again, but not today and not for a while longer. For right now, the sun is shining, there’s a warm breeze…and you’re free!

It’s important to note that you got yourself there. You made it through the tunnel to the light of freedom and a fresh start. We’re glad that we were able to be a part of your personal triumph over getting divorced, but you arrived at being divorced because you never stopped following that light.
