So here’s the inside scoop. I’ve been a divorce attorney for 23 years and as a result, every single one of my friends both actual friends, and Facebook friends ask me for my advice when they’re facing a divorce.

When I have friends who are getting divorced, and they ask me for advice, here’s what I tell them. The real deal, the confidential, back-channel skinny. Beyond legal advice, which they can get anywhere.

These are my top tips for staying out of trouble:

Ignore Legal Smack Talk from Your Spouse: I love that spouses try and give each other legal advice. Really? Since when did your spouse go to law school and become a divorce lawyer? And you’re listening? Heck, even if they’re dishing out good advice, it pays to double check.
