You CAN Find Happiness Even During A Divorce

December 18, 2017 by Wall Legal Solutions Divorce

The process of going through a divorce can be a difficult time filled with emotions. This, however, does not mean you can’t find happiness in your everyday life. For many, it seems as though there is no joy left in life during these difficult times. This does not have to be the case. There are some things you can do to help keep your focused and open to the possibilities your life may bring. As psychologist Michael Jolkovski points out “Why should there be any trouble holding your head up after a divorce?”

Empathy Is Key

When a divorce is looming, you should always keep in mind that you need to have empathy for yourself and anyone else that may be affected by this time of transition. It is alright to have down times, but try to acknowledge these periods and work to move past them with grace and dignity. Realize that you have every right to feel emotional at times, but that it is also okay to allow yourself to be happy. Take joy in doing the things you love without feeling guilty.

Control Your Emotions

Keeping your emotions in check during critical moments can be challenging, but you must remember to not let emotions cloud your judgment. Learn how to prepare yourself for difficult circumstances as well as reacting appropriately to people who are inconsiderate towards your feelings. Practice dealing with people who may create an emotional situation for you by using a few techniques that are designed to diffuse the issue at hand and get your point across without further complicating matters. Remember that it is difficult to make sound decisions when your emotions are running high.

Quiet Time

Many do not realize just how important setting aside quiet time for yourself is. Whether you go the meditations route, or you decide to take a walk on the beach alone, quiet time is therapeutic and helps you sort through the many thoughts and emotions you have during a divorce. Make a point to set aside some time for you to be alone in peace and quiet. If you have children, you can ask a family member, friend, or neighbor to watch them for a little while to help you plan your quiet time.

Nate Wall represents us and we are very pleased. Very professional. We are very grateful for his legal advice and professionalism.

Grateful to have found Steven Wall to represent me. He is kind, listens, and genuinely cares about his clients. He will go above and beyond to hunt down information and take care of the little details that tend to come back and bite you down the road. Steven has a great track record and really knows his stuff.I'd been in and out of court for long-running divorce, custody, and protective order cases. My previous lawyer had refused to stand up for me and fight for the bare minimum. This caused me to lose on many occasions and left me with fees and more issues than I had started with. In just a few months, Steven was able to resolve multiple issues that I had been dealing with for years. He cleared up tens of thousands of dollars of ridiculous fees and charges that the other side was claiming. I absolutely got my money's worth with Steven and I would be thrilled to have him to represent me again down the road.

Nate Wall has been representing myself and my family for the last 3.5 years and we couldn’t be happier. He is quick to understand our issue and offer potential solutions. He is professional when communicating with us as well as other interactions I’ve witnessed. We have had nothing but good experiences with everyone on the staff, including Frances and Morgan. Our case has been handled with empathy and determination. I do recommend this practice to friends and family.

I have worked with both Greg Wall and Steven Wall - They are both great attorney's very professional and friendly and so helpful navagiving the justice system. A BIG thanks to Frances, she was instrumental in helping get what I needed done in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend their law firm to anyone.

Frances has been a great help with my legal inquiries, she was able to assist in compiling and filing all the needed documents quickly and efficiently. Would highly recommend their services if their paralegals are any indication of their senior team's profesionalism and skill.

My son (who is a quadriplegic and lives with me) - Robert Hadlock, hired Nate Wall to represent him when his ex-wife wife was going to try to take his two minor daughters to Spain to live in the summer of 2022 without his consent, even though he has joint legal custody.Nate has been very knowledgeable, dependable, and thoughtful of our special needs as he has represented Rob's best interest and concerns in staying part of his daughter's lives. His representation of our family's interests have been all we could ask for.Rob's ex-wife, Denette Hadlock, has written many defamatory "reviews" using several different ID's to disguise who she is. These sites are meant for input from clients to rate the quality of service they've received (or not received) from their hired attornies . They are not meant to be a forum for the disgruntled party on the other side of the legal action!As is probably obvious from my comments, I would highly recommend Nate Wall to anyone seeking an excellent attorney to represent them in a legal action regarding family law.

My name is Rob Hadlock. Nate has been my attorney now for almost 2 ½ years in an extremely acrimonious case against my ex-wife. As an attorney myself, I can appreciate dealing with very difficult opposing parties. However, my ex has taken things to another level. She has attacked Nate personally and Wall & Wall on numerous occasions in numerous ways. She has written multiple negative reviews using numerous pseudonyms against Nate and this firm. She has emailed Nate directly numerous times making vile personal attacks against him. None of them are true. Nate is not only a great attorney who has represented me extremely well, he is also a good human being. He has suffered all the slings and arrows wrongly thrown at him by my ex and still stood by me. Most attorneys would have walked away not wanting to deal with such abuse. I myself might have if I had encountered a similar situation. But Nate stuck with me and still does. I could not recommend him any more highly if anybody is seeking a great attorney representing them in a family law matter.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Wall and Wall. They are incredibly sharp, with a depth of knowledge that makes a real difference. From the very beginning, their approach was strategic and effective, ensuring every detail was handled with precision. The team kept me in the loop, explained everything clearly, and made me feel completely supported. Their expertise and commitment to achieving the best outcome were truly impressive. I would highly recommend Nathan Wall and Wall and Wall Firm to anyone who needs skilled, results-driven representation.

Cory took over my case after my initial mediation when I needed help enforcing and finalizing the decree. He has been incredibly patient and kind, as my case has been long and drawn out. He has continued to represent me in court, behind the scenes, and helped me prevail on all the issues I needed help enforcing and then defending me against false allegations from my ex. Our legal process has continued on over a year and Cory has continued to represent and defend me fairly, with extreme patience and kindness throughout the entire process. He is incredibly knowledgeable in family law and has proven his experience in the court room and behind the scenes in negotiations with the opposing counsel. I have extremely high expectations for my counsel and tend to be rather demanding for time and communication on my behalf, and Cory has been absolutely wonderful to work with as I navigate the roller coaster of emotions throughout the divorce litigation process. He is absolutely wonderful to work with through a stressful process!

Steven Wall and Frances Helsten was extremely helpful and helped me through a very complicated and messy custody case. They explained and guided me through the entire years process of a year long difficult situation. Very much recommend Steven Wall.

I only have experience with Cory Wall and he does a phenomenal job. He really knows his stuff. I have a very complex case spanning many states that I went to many attorney's about. None of the other attorney's I tried to work with in other firms were knowledgeable enough to make the case work but Cory never drops a beat. He knows what to do and how to do it. He is always kind and respectful but when we went to court he was beast interviewing the hostile witness. It was amazing to watch him just come alive. I recommend Cory Wall and Wall & Wall.

Dallan Byrne

I retained Cory for my divorce and my court cases about other things to do with divorce. He did great and represented me well. I appreciate everything he has done for me. I would recommend him to other's.

It has been great working with Nathan Wall. He managed to clear out some false allegations made against me after I filed for divorce. He picked up the case after months of me not having counsel. He did the best he could after the situation had dragged for so long without results. Best thing about working with him is how honest he is. He kept expectations clear and realistic, never over promised and things worked out exactly how he said it would. I will forever be grateful, because thanks to him I was able to get my child back.

Couldn’t give enough stars for my attorney, Mitchell Wall! He truly went above and beyond for me and my children.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nathan Wall on my family’s trust recently and my father in laws trust several years prior. Nathan and his family are good people and run a professional legal practice with decades of experience. Me and my family have know the Walls for many years and they are good people and really look out for their clients as if they were family. I recommend using Nathan as he has built nearly 20 years of experience and will work hard to provide the most positive outcome for his clients.

Mitchell helped me with legal advice/contract on real estate property. He was very helpful and ended up saving my family a lot of money. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a good attorney.

I was thrown into the deep end when it comes to first time interactions with the legal process. I started out confused and over whelmed. But we got Steve Wall recommended to us by a family friend and ever since this whole thing has gone as smooth as could possibly go. This whole firm is professional, personal, and passionate. There has been multiple times Steve has called me after hours to help me with anything and awenser any questions i have. Knowing he’s the type of lawyer to not just do his job but take enough pride and passion to work on cases after buisness hours is very comforting. I hope i never need another defense attorney in my lifetime but if i do i will be calling Wall & Wall.

The best law office I have ever experience.Staff and the Lawyers are top notch, With the little bit of a difficult case that they had with me, they kept it on track and was able to get a good result that is very honorable and approved by me, and they kept my interest in sight while trying to make sure everything was honorable and just between me and my ex-spouse.Will recommend this law firm to anyone that is in need of help with any family issue cases.

I can’t say enough good things about Nathan! I was in the care of handling my brothers divorce as his power of attorney as he was incarcerated for accusation from his ex. Before being incarcerated my brother paid over $30k to another attorney who had milked him out for over two years. I called Nathan on a recommendation from another law office. Nathan answered the phone after the second ring. Expressed he was in a meeting and would call me back after. Which he did! (Unlike many others) This is the level of communication and professional Nathan carried the entire way through the case. He was calm understanding and sympathetic to my brother’s situation as well as equally ticked off as we were, for what my brothers ex had done to him on false allegations. That being said Nathan handled his case like a pro. He was able to get the case resolved in about 6 months. Even with my brother being incarcerated he was able get him his fair share of assets and came to agreement on the first mediation attempt. (Where the other attorney could never get my brothers ex to the table). Nathan was a god send. He did what l believe no other attorney could do given the nature of the accusations and the stubbornness of my brothers ex. He even did it while not burning through his retainer kept us up to date every step of the way. He made the process almost too easy. He would send out updates of everything going on and simply say I’ve got everything handled. I’ll let you know if I need anything from you. (Which he didn’t need much from me). I wish I could give more than 5 stars because Nathan deserves it. Hands down the best attorney out there. Never once did I feel misunderstood or taken advantage of. Thank you Nathan truly you are a magician in your field!

Nate Wall and Morgan James are the best duo around. I had bad legal counsel in my 2019 divorce, and for years trying to get custody of my kids. I spoke with Nate in 2022 and in 2024 I walked away from trial with what I wanted and more. Nate is the only attorney I’ll use going forward, and I know there will be more to come with my ex.

Cory Wall and Frances are absolutely amazing. I had a complex case and they took their time, were so through and handled my case with such care. Frances was always there to answer any questions and responded so promptly. They truly listen and care and support you the whole way. I could not have asked for a better law firm! I would absolutely recommend them. They also had very affordable rates. Thank you Wall and Wall and Frances!

When it came to trial, Steve drove home the overall theme of what we were shooting for and sold the sentiment with great appeal. He’s been doing this a long time, and his experience shows. I highly recommend Mr. Wall.

As a family law mediator of many years I have had the opportunity to work with each attorney at Wall & Wall Legal Solutions. To a person, each has demonstrated the highest level of relevant legal knowledge, ethics and client relations. I further attest to their skill in negotiations where the ability to understand, analyze and counsel their client as to strengths and weaknesses on all relevant issues was at hand; further, that they counsel their clients with what they need to know, not necessarily what the client wants to hear.I have mediated many difficult and complex cases with Wall & Wall and have always been impressed with their professionalism and competence. The same goes with their staff and paralegals. As a team they combine to offer the highest level of representation one could hope for. I strongly recommend each attorney of Wall & Wall for your needs.
