What are some of the most important things I should do when preparing for my divorce?

Preparing for a divorce requires not only financial and legal preparation but also an emotional process. It is important to prioritize your well-being and mental state first and foremost. Taking the following steps can make an incredible difference in the outcome of your divorce:

  1. Prioritize the well-being of you and your children over all else, no matter the circumstances of your divorce.
  2. Never put anything regarding your divorce in writing. This includes texts, emails, and more.
  3. Create a financial plan for after your divorce (i.e. calculate your bills and other living expenses, assets in your bank accounts, etc.).
  4. Try to remain as calm as possible when negotiating your divorce with your spouse.
  5. If you or your children need an objective third party to vent to, consider seeking therapy, even if only for a few weeks. Many people find great benefits in doing so.
