Everyone reacts to tumultuous times differently. Some may shut down, some will be miserable, some will angrily lash out, and some will welcome their sorrow. One way to experience the sorrow of a life transition is to allow the tumult to manifest into negative self-talk (“I’m such a loser” or “Why can’t I have a normal marriage?”). Alternatively, some people will meet their sorrow with compassion and a determination to move forward with their head held high. As you face divorce, or the winding road that accompanies a messy family transition (whether divorce, a custody battle, or death), your ability to maintain the thin thread of humanity that separates one from a beast that perpetually wallows in self-doubt will help you move through this time.
Beyond speaking to yourself kindly, maintaining a routine, and setting goals, there is another practice that will help you regain energy for that elusive goal. Following a routine will give you a sense of accomplishment, and for the diligent, a sense of control. The act of physical care that comes with skin and hair care will remind you that you are worthy of self-care. It will aid your emotional care by making you look outside of yourself. It will help you make a much-needed connection to your innate beauty.
You may be wondering how the nuances of family law, particularly the legal framework surrounding spousal support, and a skincare routine are related. Understanding how the law works while facing a life transition will empower you to make choices that are best for you, and will result in a more powerful commitment to self-care. California family law code 4320 discusses the factors to be considered when determining the level of spousal or partner support (if any) that shall be paid by one party to another.
In many ways, the law is like skincare – it is a tedious process that requires you to put in the time and effort. The key to understanding the nuances of family law code 4320 is to focus on the sub-factors. The sub-factors provide a fine-toothed comb that allows you to narrow down the main considerations. For example: What did the parties do during the marriage that resulted in an impact on the present economics? Did one partner assist the other by caring for children, thus enabling the other to pursue a career or advanced education? One spouse having primary child-caring responsibilities will dictate what that spouse can provide during the course of the marriage and post-divorce. If a spouse’s employment was affected by the existence of children, that will have a long-term affect on what will happen with support. Being able to wade through all the legal factors and sub-factors will empower you to make decisions that are uniquely yours.

For the less Zen among us, consider the sheer power of a beauty routine in the context of family law code 4320. The foundational issue that must be viewed when determining spousal support is the economic realities of the situation. The economic realities will affect one’s ability to pay support, and whether that payment constitutes a modifiable or non-modifiable amount. Spousal support is designed to be rehabilitative support, and not a permanent award, so what that looks like for every person will vary. One recommendation – if you are staring at your bills and have no idea how to pay them, do not panic of drop everything that is meaningful to you (such as skincare) out of survival mode.
It is difficult to make decisions in the throes of financial uncertainty. Taking five minutes each day to care for your hair, skin, and nails will relieve some of the stress. With consistent attention, your external beauty will begin to reflect your internal beauty, and you will feel rejuvenated.
Maintaining a routine gives you a semblance of order during the chaotic times. It helps you focus on the things that are within arm’s reach and with which you are comfortable. Being able to walk through the problem of spousal support from the lens of the main factor of economic reality will allow you to narrow down the possibilities. Once you have filtered through the main key issues, focus on the sub-factors. To return to the example above, one sub-factor to consider is: What was the impact on the supported party’s earning capacity and ability to maintain the standard of living established during the marriage ITT at the time of separation? What will that standard be in the future?

Meanwhile, becoming empowered by learning the ins and outs of the law while you proceed through a life transition will help you better understand your options. You will be able to nip the factors, sub-factors, and nuances of family law code 4320 in the bud. To be continued…
