If we turn the pages of the most vital books of jurisprudence around the law of divorce, we find the law standing at the crossroads of proclivities of human behaviour and the evidence they leave behind. As an international jurist who has examined carefully the edicts from the Roman times to the latest statutes, I can’t refrain myself from expressing that the very disposition of a party, if contained with vengeance, angry eruptions of emotions and blaring lividness, damages their case to an irreparable degree. When one takes the courtroom for a theatre, the play is self-sabotaged. On top of that, if such behaviour is taken home, the self-inflicting wound becomes irremediable.
Aristotle offered the virtue of phronesis that requires one to use reasonable prudence when dealing with such situations as divorce. Once you lose wisdom, and resort to incendiary rhetoric through messages and social media, you have already damaged your own case. The courts will use that evidence to form an educated opinion about the stability of your mind and your personal integrity. The courts reflect not only on the facts and the law but also on your moral bearing and orientation. And in case of custody of children, your fitness is judged to a large extent by the comportment you display.
One should take a divorce proceedings not as a battle of egos but as a formalization of a fractured bond. Once one starts hiding assets, lying to the courts, using kids as pawns and using dilatory tactics, their case starts to crumble in the eyes of the court.
Master the art of interpersonal conduct and you have won half the battle already!
