Vines Legal's A-Z of All Things Family and Matrimonial; Y for Yelling!

Welcome to our Alphabet Information Series.  Today’s topic is Y for Yelling!

Divorce and separation is an emotionally difficult time. You’re upset, he’s angry, she’s worried, he’s frustrated and so it goes on.  When finances and children are involved too everything is magnified. Communication is key but with emotions running high it is very easy to give in to arguing which swiftly can move on to a ‘slanging match’. Whilst yelling at your spouse or partner may relieve temporary frustration and stress, the reality is that it will achieve nothing but to aggravate the other party and inflame the situation.

Getting your point across whilst you are upset and angry can be challenging but being equipped with the right tools and information can prove to be very constructive in sorting things out on separation. One option is mediation. Mediation is a process where you attend a series of meetings with an independent mediator to attempt to resolve issues relating to your children or your finances in an amicable way with the help of an independent mediator. Mediation can prove useful if you both remain on good terms and are keen to reach an agreement without the expense and hostility of the Court process.
