The Art of an Amicable Divorce: What Ariana Grande Can Teach Us



What I find fascinating about Ariana Grande's divorce is the way she and her soon-to-be-ex-husband are handling it. Apparently, they've been working on some sort of agreement since way back in February, but they didn't officially file for divorce until almost July. That got me thinking about how, in many cases, couples who've realized their relationship has run its course can approach the situation with kindness, respect, and dignity.


This approach involves what I like to call "reverse engineering the agreement." Essentially, it means working out the details of your separation before officially filing for divorce. It's not an uncommon strategy, and I've assisted quite a few couples with it in my office. So, if you and your partner have reached the point where you both understand the relationship can't be salvaged, consider starting to work on your separation agreement.


However, it's crucial to involve an attorney in this process. I've had countless individuals tell me they've "worked everything out" with their ex-partner, only to realize later that many important details were left unresolved. Having an attorney on board ensures that you cover all bases and that your agreement is legally sound.


By crafting the agreement before filing, you gain some confidentiality and confidence in the process. This approach allows you to work through the nitty-gritty details without the pressure of an impending legal battle. Once everything is settled, you can sign the agreement and then proceed to file for divorce.


What I really appreciate about Ariana Grande's situation is the level of collaboration she and her ex are demonstrating. They're actively working things out before involving the court system, which gives them flexibility and control over the process. It's a refreshing reminder that divorce doesn't have to be a bitter, contentious battle.


Before I sign off, I can't help but mention that Ariana is a Cancer. Now, I don't usually bring astrology into legal discussions, but hey, why not? Cancers do have a reputation for being intuitive and nurturing, qualities that can certainly come in handy during a divorce.


So, there you have it, folks! The art of an amicable divorce, as demonstrated by Ariana Grande and her soon-to-be-ex-husband. If you find yourself in a situation where the relationship has reached its end, consider following their example and working out the details before filing for divorce. It's a path that can lead to a smoother, more respectful, and dignified separation.
