Involvement in a domestic relations proceeding such as a divorce, child custody dispute, or child support matter represents a period of extraordinary stress. For most people, this is a venture into uncharted territory. The old adage “Don’t sweat the small stuff” really does not apply. There are seemingly countless details, some large and some small, that can cause moments of panic or even sleepless nights. One of the difficulties for the person navigating such a proceeding is that they may not know enough about the process to accurately distinguish between key issues and “the small stuff.” Another reality is that understanding how the process works as to those more minor details may provide not only peace of mind but also an ability to prioritize the focus on the more major areas of concern.
