Divorce is hard enough, but when your ex is out to punish you instead of just moving on, things can spiral into a legal and financial nightmare. If you've ever felt like your ex is using the legal system as a weapon, you're not imagining it.

• Take strategic oversight of your case. Don't just rely on your lawyer to handle everything.
