How To Maintain Relationships With Your Spouses Family During The Divorce

How can I maintain relationships with my spouse's family during the divorce?

You have little choice about maintaining relations with your spouse's family during a divorce, if they're taking sides against you. You can try to sit down and say, "Look, I'm glad to talk with you. You can ask me any questions you want. I'm not going to give you details, but if you need to clear something up, I'll try to explain my behavior." You may need to accept that losing your spouse's family is going to be one of the consequences of divorce. You may lose extended family. Your brother-in-law whom you were so close to may feel an allegiance to his sister, and so you may lose that relationship. That is just going to be the reality of divorce.
