When separation or divorce proceedings don’t go well–and tempers flare–many of our clients have heard bullying and guilt-inducing comments from their spouses. If you hear one of the following comments or anything else that alarms you during your case, take a deep, cleansing breath–then contact your lawyer right away.

• “Is money all you care about after all our years together?
• Do you want me to take a second job to pay all that support?
• I’ll disappear with the kids before I pay you a red cent.
• Let’s save some money and let my lawyer handle both out sides in this divorce.
• I’m going to tell the judge all about those bad things you’ve done. You’ll never get custody of my children.
• Go ahead. Demand all the documents you want. You’re only racking up your lawyer’s fees.
• My lawyer will litigate this divorce for five years.
• If you don’t agree to my terms, I’ll go to Nevada or Mexico for my divorce.”
