The advice that I would give somebody going through a divorce is most importantly to be reasonable with each other, and to remain calm, and to have a plan, especially when there's children involved; to be able to be civil and nice to each other, and to reassure the kids that the divorce is not about them. It's about two adults and not at all about the kids.
