Cupid’s Advice: 

Taking a divorce to trial spells nothing but drama. Cupid has some tips to try and avoid this for yourself:

1. Communicate: Communication is key, not just in a relationship, but in its end. Finding a way to talk to your your ex after the relationship is more challenging then during. But, if you can find a way to talk to them about what you need from the split and what they are looking for it can alleviate a lot of the drama.

3. See both sides: It is hard to remember there are two sides of a divorce. It can be easy to just see your side, because of the hurt the divorce has caused you. But if you can remember the other person involved is probably feeling the same way as you, it becomes easier to put yourself in their shoes and come to an understanding.
