Dos
DO whatever it takes for
you to feel good about yourself.
DO identify what is REALLY important to you.
Then set goals and make plans for the
future.
DO accept the support of your family and
friends.
DO maintain your relationships with friends.
DO adopt a conservative economic/financial
outlook.
DO look for opportunities to save money.
DO look for ways to get along with your
ex-spouse.
DO look for positive ways to move on with
your life.
DO carefully select your professional
advisors: attorney, psychologist, financial

Don’ts
DON'T look for fault in
your spouse or yourself.
DON'T make any BIG decisions for now.
DON'T make large financial commitments if
you can help it.
DON'T harbor ill-will against your ex-spouse
or anyone else.
DON'T fret about the rest of your life. Take
it one day at a time.
DON'T rely too heavily on the advice of
family, friends and acquaintances. Their
experience is not your experience.
DON'T assume the worst. It has a tendency to
self-fulfilling prophecy.
