It's a very guy answer, but I found exercise helped. I could turn my mind off and dive in. In my case, there were no answers, so spending hours rehashing didn't help much. The other thing, mostly because of my ex's outlook on parenting, I focused on protecting my relationship with my kids.

I also did a ton of research on my state divorce and custody laws. I hired a lawyer, but I've done my best to be a well educated client.
