Get Organized – Get Legal Guidance

With a divorce on the horizon, you must be prepared. There are a number of things you must do and not do. Here is a primer:

  • Get your financial documents in order: This would include mortgage statements related to your home’s value; all information related to retirement accounts; other documents such as proof of income and car’s value.
  • Be cautious with social media: Avoid posting derogatory comments about your spouse; do not rally your friends against him or her; avoid posting controversial and tasteless images; do not overshare information.
  • Talk with your children: Provide simple explanations and do not say bad things about the other spouse.
  • Do not hide money or make drastic lifestyle changes: These will harm you during the divorce proceedings.
  • Get emotional support: Consider meeting with a therapist.
  • Maintain normal routines as much as possible: this will help you and your family work toward a smoother transition. It will help you to stay on track with the necessary legal paperwork, temporary child and spousal support and protections from abuse if needed.
  • Select an experienced and knowledgeable attorney: You need a skilled legal advocate who has guided many divorce clients.
