Monmouth County Family Law Attorney
While your divorce is pending, how much should you directly communicate with your wife? This is a surprisingly complex question. There is a fine line between too little communication and too much communication, and it can vary dramatically from one situation to the next. The New Jersey Krompier Law Firm in Freehold can help you understand when it is okay to talk to your spouse and when it is a bad idea.
Good Communication vs. Bad Communication
Perhaps there is a minor detail that needs to be addressed while the divorce is pending, something so minor it really doesn't need to go through your attorney, something that has no chance of causing an argument. Communicating with your wife about that detail may be considered good communication.
Bad communication may seem self-explanatory, but it is not. While it is crucial to avoid any conversation that could be used against you, that your wife could use to level a charge of domestic violence against you, there are also conversations that may seem less harmful that can do a lot of damage. You want to avoid any communication that could interfere with what your lawyer is trying to resolve on your behalf.
Two Levels of Communication
As your case is pending, your lawyer is actively working with your wife's lawyer to resolve all of the issues in your divorce. While that communication is happening on one level, it is important to avoid starting a second level of communication by attempting to resolve the same issue directly with your wife. While you certainly have good intentions, it could create tangles and end up damaging the work your lawyer has already done.
