Divorce is not an easy process, and yours may have been emotional and painful, especially if you still had feelings for your spouse when the court finalized your split. Whether you always hoped you would get back together or were surprised by the sudden reunion, remarriage is in your future. With your history, however, it may be smart to look realistically at your situation. Remarriages do not have good track records, and you already know what you are getting into.

This is not to discourage you from taking this important step to renew your relationship with your former spouse. However, it is wise to take a critical look at the situation and determine if there are ways you can be proactive about protecting your future.

Working in law enforcement takes a certain type of personality. You need to be authoritative, confident and professional. At the same time, you work under the constant stress of often seeing people at the worst moments of their lives while making sure that you make it home safely after the end of each shift.

Leaving all of this at work in order to go home and enter into the role of parent isn't always easy. During your marriage, you at least had the other parent in the house to help shield your children from your job. Now that you are divorcing, you will need to find a way to manage each side of your life in order to enjoy your time with your children. This is only one aspect of the transitions you will go through during the divorce, since creating a child custody plan that takes into account all of the unique aspects of your job presents a challenge.

Divorce is a difficult process in which two parties must disentangle their finances, parenting responsibilities and other aspects of their lives. It's an emotional, complicated thing to walk through, and many couples may be looking for a way to minimize complications and stress. One way to do this is by choosing a collaborative divorce. 

There are many benefits to collaborating on a divorce. It can reduce stress and allow the couple to move through the entire process faster. While these may seem like positive things, you probably understand that this process simply doesn't work in every situation. Before you make any important decisions that will impact the course and direction of your life, you will find it beneficial to seek an assessment of the specific legal options available to you.

Because you have a considerable amount of wealth, you may have felt judged by other people who immediately thought you must have all the happiness you could want due to your financial fortune. Of course, you know differently, especially after enduring what became an unhappy marriage and a now pending divorce.

You, like many other Arizona residents going through this legal process, may feel a myriad of emotions. If you decided to end the relationship, you may feel relieved but possibly also guilty. If you did not make the decision, you may feel hurt, angry and uncertain about the future. Because others may see you as someone who "has it all," you may even feel like you have no one to turn to for emotional support.
