When your children get braces on, it can be difficult to explain that having those on for a long period of time moves teeth in a very deliberate, although very slow, corrective manner. The same can be true of going to see a divorce attorney.
When people come for a consultation, they often want answers about what they can change right. now. to fix all that they want to in their families. As attorneys, we often counsel that, just as it took years to get to the place they are now, it can take time, often many months, to try to gather evidence, make a plan for the future, and then implement that. But over time, and through consistent work, a final plan to resolve a divorce becomes clear.
Wanting braces to work in a week, and wanting to correct what’s not working in a family in a short time, is not realistic; and while it can be frustrating, taking the time to be thoughtful and persistent is often the best path… both for orthodontia and divorce.
For any family law questions or concerns, please reach out to one of the family law attorneys at Lee & Decker Family Law.
