Seek emotional support: It's important to have emotional support during a high conflict divorce. This can come from friends, family members, or a therapist. Of course, a Professional therapist is always recommended as they have the right skills to assist you. Consider reaching out to a support group for people going through a divorce or seeking professional counseling to help you cope with the emotional stress.
Seek legal advice from a family lawyer: A family lawyer can provide legal guidance and represent you in court if necessary.

Communicate effectively: Try to communicate with your ex-spouse in a respectful and calm manner, even if they are not doing the same. If communications turn into harassment and abuse, consider calling the police or seeking a protection order or a conduct order from the family court to stop or limit communication.
Document everything: Keep a record of all interactions with your ex-spouse, including emails, text messages, and phone calls. This can be helpful if you need to provide evidence of their behavior in court.
Prioritize your goals: Not every issue is worth a huge legal battle. During the divorce process, emotions are high which causes parties to fight or act unreasonably which could create a vicious cycle of court applications, stress and anxiety for the children and unnecessary legal fees. Pick your top goals and be ready to compromise on some issues to achieve a fair settlement.
Remember that going through a high conflict divorce can be a long and challenging process, but with the right support and resources, you can get through it. Be patient and take things one step at a time.
