So if we have that perspective, if we do that work, and we feel as if the marriage cannot be repaired, is the best move to then have the conversation

Straight away.

And the reason why I bring that up is because I've read some research somewhere that stated that many women know one year prior to leaving their partner.

And these are in heterosexual relationships.

They know one year prior.

And they spend a lot of that year plotting on how to get out.

And so the question, though, is if you feel as if you can't repair the relationship or your partner won't be able to repair it,

should you immediately have that conversation, or should you approach it another way, given your experience as a divorce attorney?

So let's look at that.

Let's look at someone who's in a relationship and they know they want out.

Perhaps they have kids, maybe there's some assets.

tactically, then they should not have the conversation immediately.

What should they do?

But if you feel as if your partner would be vindictive, so for example, I have a friend, this is a true story, I have a friend who wanted to ensure that he got custody of the children.

Sure.

And so I think of him almost in this situation.

Would it have been smart to not have the conversation

and to put things in place so that he would... 100%.

They're just thinking about it.
