What Kind of Divorce-to-be-Done person are You?

What kind of Divorce-to-be-done person are YOU?  This refers to clients getting divorced.

Attorney has seen the gamut but let's just go over some of more frequently seen personas.
Attorney is friendly and accepting of the circumstances,  and in that realm, Attorneys finds that many people take the same path. Normally, they suffer. But also, they can fall into certain patterns. There is no right way to react to something that is stressful, difficult, and emotional. Just don't use too much Facebook and create harm to your case!

  Below are some of the general categories of emotion that Attorney (and probably every divorce attorney in the USA)  -- has seen:

Whoo! Hoo! Yippee!:  I have never been so happy to get rid of him/her and never, ever again!

Hindsight:  I should have dumped him/her 10 years ago. Sigh.

Victim:   I didn't do anything to deserve this and I can't believe he/she is doing this to me. It's not me.

Madder than Ever:  I am so mad I could kill him/her so if I can't then I want to do anything I can to get back at him/her.

Ignoring facts, and living in Fantasia:  Well, I might not have to get a divorce because he/she will probably come back and if I do what he/she really wants, I can be a different person.

The Ultimate Best Parent in the World:  I really am the ultimate best parent for my kids, he/she has no clue about kids, about my kids, and no matter what he/she will do, he/she will never, ever be as good a parent as I am, that is the truth. I want all the custody.

I Don't Really Care Just Get It Over With:  I just want this done quickly, I don't care what he/she wants, I will agree as long as I can afford it, and I don't need his/her crap, and I don't want to see him/her again. I might see the kids but they don't really want to see me because he/she turned kids
against me..... I need single malt Scotch, or possibly Remy Martin Louis XIII in a pinch.**

Difficult and Possibly Impossible:  This can only be described as the client from hell that wants to do everything his/her way, refuses to take Attorney's advice, ignores Court orders, makes everything very expensive because nothing is turned in on time, or it is purposely withheld; further, no amount of logic or fact will help client do what he/she has to do.  Clients like this will end up in contempt and then blame Attorney or the other Party. Normally this means the person is exceptionally unhappy and cannot bear any blame for anything. Clients like this-- if they turn impossible, I am afraid I do drop them because I cannot do my job for them.

** Bourbon/whisky are outselling vodka these days...........  I had to look it up after I heard
client say it, just so I wouldn't be in the dark...........

Rémy Acquires Rising Bruichladdich Single Malt For $90M

July 23, 2012

Two weeks after entering exclusive talks with the owners of Bruichladdich, Rémy Cointreau has agreed to acquire the Islay single malt Scotch whisky brand for £58 million ($89.9m). 

The Bruichladdich acquisition marks Rémy’s entry into Scotch whisky brand ownership. While the company’s American arm, Rémy Cointreau USA, already markets Edrington Group’s Macallan and Highland Park single malts, the addition of Bruichladdich should give Rémy a boost in Asian markets like China, where Scotch and Cognac vie for leadership of the fast-rising imported spirits category. Rémy is already well-positioned in Cognac with Rémy Martin, the world’s second-leading Cognac brand and one of the top-selling imported spirits brands in China.
