One positive aspect of the pandemic is that it has made us question the things in our lives that were draining, such as overbooking our social calendar or commuting to work five days a week, and embrace positive things like spending more time with family.

While some folks are already forging ahead into the “new normal”, others are more cautious. For those who feel “nervous,” it will take time to reemerge from the fear and anxiety we have all felt.
As a society, for those who are married, we have also had the chance to live, very closely, with our spouses. Growth was inevitable. Some of us grew closer to our spouses and some grew apart.
For all of us, the pandemic has given us the chance to ask ourselves, what will my “new normal” look like? The pandemic has also given us the opportunity to do something about it.
Some might ask themselves about big changes:
Divorce?
New Job?
Change locations?
Change careers?
Some might also ask:
Do I want to be married at all?
Do I want my kids around their other parent as much?
Do I want to spend more time with my kids?
How will I pay for support when I lost my job months ago?
Divorce attorneys can help you with your intimate questions about domestic relations as you prepare for the next stage of your life in the “new normal.”
