Getting a Divorce and Keeping Your Sanity


Going through a divorce is no walk in the park. From the time you decide you are getting a divorce until the final court proceedings, the whole thing can be quite nerve wracking. With a few tips, though, you can get through this troubling time and keep your wits about you.

Be tactful with your initial approach. The way you tell your spouse that you want a divorce will set the tone for the divorce proceedings. For instance, do not approach your spouse in front of a group of friends and embarrass him or her with the bad news. Instead, tell your spouse how much you care for them and how special they are. Then, proceed to tell them that you want a divorce and the reasons. Do this in a way that is thoughtful and loving.

Hire a good therapist. Splitting up, no matter if it is your idea or your spouse’s, is hard. You need to talk with a person who is objective and can help you deal with what you are going through.

Find a reputable lawyer. These days, you do not need to find a lawyer that is a good fighter. Every state in the United States now has “no-fault divorces”. This does not require the court to find one of the spouses guilty of wrongdoing.

Instead, hire a lawyer that will be able to solve problems, advise you about your rights and responsibilities, and fight for what is right. Ask those you trust to refer you to a reputable lawyer.

Do not hide your assets. It is important to put all of your assets on the table. If not, the judge may not rule in your favor and you could lose everything like Denise Rossi who won $1.3 million in the lottery before filing for divorce.

Avoid court. You should do your best to work through your divorce without going to court. You can hire a mediator to help you get through it. If you go to court, the divorce proceedings will likely take much longer and cost a lot more. In California, there is such a backlog, that you will likely wait at least six months for a trial date.

Make a punch list. As the divorce is wrapping up, work with your spouse to make a punch list. This should contain all the last minute tasks that should be completed before the divorce is final. Wait until everything is complete and do not pay your final lawyer’s fee until the final divorce judgment is filed.

There’s no doubt that going through a divorce is very hard. Follow the tips here and you can keep your sanity while going making a major life change.

Ayo and Iken attorneys florida

Over the past 12 years Ayo & Iken has helped over 5,000 people just like you

Having worked as an investigator and later in my career as a counselor for divorces gave me plenty of exposure to Lawyers. Therefore, I had a lot of resistance and fears of working with any lawyer. Therefore, I did thorough research and found Howard Iken. I must say that I have nothing but appreciation for him. His knowledge, expertise, and support are priceless. First of all he does not sell you a dream, in other words he is upfront and honest at all times. He has also been extremely assertive and a big advocate for my daughter and my rights as a father in the court room. Outside of the court room he has been extremely supportive, accessible, and informative at all times. In fact many times I would send him an email with a question and would be surprised to receive a response right away. After my past experiences working in the system he has shown me that there are excellent lawyers that truly are there for their client’s best interest.
