Don’t Rush the Process

Compassion means I see the person in the case, not just the billable hours or revenue generated.

Divorce takes time.

Really, anything takes time.

A client recently pushed me to move faster on her divorce because she was closing on the sale of her house and needed the divorce to happen according to that time schedule.

She needed her soon-to-be-ex-husband’s signature on a temporary order so the sale could happen as it needed to. The rush made everyone involved in the process crazy. It was too fast.

This client had a vision for what would happen in her life and she wanted to make it work out a certain way, but I’m going to be honest: you have to allow things to take the time they naturally need to unfold.

Plain and simple, you want something done right, give it time.
