Getting a divorce is not easy. It is hard to decide when to divorce or not to divorce,
what to do with the joint assets and what to do about the kids.
But it is even harder to make decisions on the spur of the moment.
When you are in the middle of the process and you have to make a
tough decision it’s hard to remember your gut feeling.
It’s hard to keep your emotions in check and not to lose your composure.
To help you make better decisions on the spur of the moment remember these tips:
1. Talk to a lawyer
Talking to a lawyer can be the difference between getting a divorce or not.
You need to speak to your lawyer before you make any major decision because they know
what your rights are, your obligations, and what the possible outcomes of all decisions will be.
A divorce lawyer can also help you create a settlement agreement to be submitted to the court for your case.
A lawyer can also offer advice on what to do and what to avoid in your marriage,
if you are unwilling to negotiate a settlement agreement.
2. Negotiation
If you and your spouse are still able to negotiate an agreement on your own, you are still better off
than some couples in which no agreement is reached.
Negotiation can involve reviewing your agreement to make sure nothing needs amending,
perhaps adding a few items to it, and agreeing on what to do about the kids.
You may still need to go to court to make sure all items are agreed upon.
If you are going to court instead of working out an agreement,
a lawyer is still advised to advise you to and against testifying at trial.
3. Court Appearances
A lawyer can help you prepare for court appearances.
They can advise you on what to say in court, if you are not a witness.
You may need to show your divorce lawyer your tax returns for the last few years,
your recent bank statements, and the current statements for your joint checking account.
You should also bring with you receipts, letters from your friends,
and any other documents that show you are moving ahead with your life.
The lawyer can advise you on how to handle your divorce
and present an upbeat, positive view of your life after the marriage.
4. How to manage all assets
It’s not easy managing all the assets, especially if you have a
large sum of money invested in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, or real estate.
If you do not think you can manage an assets managed on your own,
you can ask for an appointment with the divorce lawyer.
They can show you how to do it, give you some tips on where you might want to put your assets,
and how to decide who will get what.
5. Children
Children have special concerns too. As a divorced parent, you may have to take over day to day parenting.
You can ask for an appointment with the divorce lawyer to work out reasonable visitation times and payments.
You should discuss with your lawyer the best way to keep children out of the divorce and protect their privacy.
You can also bring with you letters from schools, doctor’s letters, etc that tell you about the child’s behavior.
A lawyer can also tell you how to file for custody and visitation changes in court.
These are just some of the tips that you can ask your lawyer about how to handle a divorce.
You can get answers and make sure you are told what to do about special situations by asking in advance.
It can be expensive, but this will give you an idea of how to handle a divorce and
make sure you’re told what to do about the special circumstances.
