Unfortunately, you may unearth plenty of negative traits in your partner when going through divorce that you never even imagined possible before.

Having to deal with false accusations on top of everything else is a recipe for stress and anxiety. Thus, knowing how to handle these accusations calmly while preserving an untarnished personal reputation is crucial.

Maintain your poise

Skillpath discusses ways to keep your poise even in the most stressful of situations. Disputing with dignity is crucial in these cases.

It is easy to get defensive and angry when you hear someone is spreading rumors about you. However, irrational actions might implicate you or turn public opinion against you, rousing unnecessary suspicion that the accusations are true.

Maintaining poise even in the face of such accusations is a much better look. It allows you to accentuate the positives, choose your thoughts carefully and keep an eye on the important big picture.

Carefully dispute false information

You might still dispute false information, but you should do so after putting some considerable thought into your best potential approach to the situation. You can reduce the stigma of misinformation through a direct, dignified and firm rebuttal.

Keep your integrity

Equally important is maintaining your integrity. This is a great way to keep your reputation looking good during divorce, especially if your spouse chooses to play dirty. Rather than sinking to their level, show compliance throughout investigations into accusations and do not show disrespect or hostility.

In putting forth your best foot, you may have a better outward appearance than your spouse, who chooses to take you down with underhanded tactics.
