Divorce is a legal process that dissolves a marriage. There are many legal steps that need to be followed in order for the divorce to be finalized. Some of the things that people sometimes do during or after a divorce can have serious consequences. Here are some things to avoid doing if you want to make your divorce go smoothly: 1. Don’t try to get back together with your ex-spouse. This will only cause tension and conflict, and may not even be possible anyway. 2. Don’t speak badly about your spouse in front of others. This could lead to defamation lawsuits, and could damage your reputation. 3. Don’t try to get financial settlements from your spouse without their agreement or a lawyer’s help. This can lead to disputes over money, and can make it more difficult to finalize the divorce settlement later on.
