There are several things to consider before filing for divorce that may relieve some of your stress and help you prepare once the case begins.
start Smart
Recognize when your marriage is not reparable. Consider the emotional impact on your children and yourself. Do not use your children against your spouse. Encourage a positive parent-child relationship with your spouse when appropriate. Provide consistency in your children’s school/extracurricular schedules. Negative energy will not improve your standing when deciding custody. Maintain job, home, and income stability. Have a support system of family and friends in place. Plan a budget for retaining an attorney.
Get Organized
Be able to access bank accounts.
Obtain a record of any retirement accounts.
Maintain health and auto insurance policies.
Avoid making derogatory comments about your spouse in the presence of your children, and do not encourage third parties to do so.
Know your debt obligations.
Make a list of marital property detailing what you want to keep as yours.
Keep communications with your spouse cordial (texts/social media, etc).
Know that any social media posts and/or communications with your spouse can become an exhibit in trial that will be reviewed by your judge.
