Should you write a letter to your ex? Some people like to do it for various reasons: closure, expression of feelings, to be hurtful, and more.

But should you?

Here are some quick guidelines from a divorce attorney with more than 30 years of experience:

1. Write whatever you want, because it can be a great emotional exercise, but don’t send it. This letter can include absolutely anything you want, as long as (a) it is hand-written, and (b) it is placed somewhere after writing it to ensure no one sees it (like burnt in the fireplace).
2. Never ever write it if it can hurt you in Court later on. If you have no minor children, together, wait until they are adults. If you have no minor children, wait until your divorce is 100% final. Always think from the perspective that whatever you write can be used against you.
3. Keep it off social media. If you ask every family law judge what is the number one thing they wish they could change about the divorce process, they would likely include in their answer to stay off all social media before, during the after the divorce process and never trash you spouse/ex on social media.
4. Understand that whatever you write could end up in the hands of your children. Always think carefully, about what you want your children to believe in when they are adults.

Whether you're newly heartbroken or seeking closure on a relationship from years ago, Letter To My Ex offers you a plaform to write it all down.

Many of you know that I like to use song lyrics to explain the pains from and resilience to the time period of life known as divorce. Adele captures the anguish well.

Just remember that on the other end of divorce is the beginning of the rest of your life. Adele has a pretty bright future.

Imagine yours!

Dear Bill and Melinda,

Why would anyone care about a bunch of public relations releases choreographed by two of the world's richest people, who own properties, stocks and so much more? Yes, you both earned every last dollar. By now we all know everything you are both choosing to tell all of us.

How about the two of you quiet back down, go back to saving the world, helping children in third world countries and just quite talking about your silly, rich persons' divorce, ok?

As a bonus to the rest of us, why don't you both collaborate to end starvation, murder and inequality in our country?

Bill Gates actually gave his soon-to-be-ex-wife Melinda Gates much more stock than previously reported.

A Minnesota judge has refused to uphold their Marital Settlement Agreement, fearing fraud, based on the transfer of virtually all of their marital assets to the wife.

Could this happen in Maryland?

999 times out of 1000, that answer would be no, a judge would not interfere with a written agreement between two spouses, especially if both were represented by counsel. It is also incredibly difficult to overturn an agreement, once made and incorporated into a Judgment of Absolute Divorce, especially after the expiration of any appeal period. There are also safeguards that can be written into an agreement to address the issue of potential fraud, such as the non-disclosure of assets.

Still, where there is an appearance of fraud, a trial judge has both the ability, and arguably, the affirmative duty to act to protect against the commission of fraud.

Minneapolis, MN – A Minnesota judge refused to approve a divorce settlement between former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin and his wife, who filed for divorce just hours after her husband was charged with the murder of George Floyd. Washington County District Judge Juanita Freeman did not...
