As we all “shelter in place,” these are unprecedented times in our history. There are many stressors that come with the constant togetherness that is now present.
Here are a few tips from people who have dealt with family law issues for over 45+ years:
- Structure the family’s daily routine. Make time for meals together. Assign chores and have a definite bedtime.
- Assign “duties “ at home — who is to do what and when can bring great relief to tension in the family unit.
- Be patient. This is a hard thing to do when you are stressed to begin with. Counting to 10 will work in most cases; in extreme cases, go for a walk.
- Exercise. It’s a great de-stressor.
- Make yourself a gratitude list and continue to add to it. Be grateful for your health, shelter, spouse, children, and pets.
- Don’t assume anything. Assumptions can lead to misunderstandings, which can lead to arguments over nothing.
Family Law has been our business for over 45 years. We’ve helped many people through tough times in their relationships, and we are available to help with your family law issues. We hope that if you practice these tips, we will see you in the grocery store instead of our office. Stay Safe!
