You’ve decided to divorce – now what?

January 16, 2018

If the day has finally come that you and your spouse have decided to call it quits, you might be wondering what to do next. Should you move out of your house in Charlotte? What marital property should you fight to keep at all costs? How will you possibly get the divorce and be able to start over?

These kinds of questions are not uncommon for people who decide to divorce. Since ending your marriage is complicated, it is important that you address all the questions you have. By taking a few steps to prepare for your divorce, you may not only find the answers to some of the questions, but you might realize there are other issues you never even dreamed of.

Examine your finances

In a divorce, the question of finances is often one of the most important. It is vital that you take steps to ensure that you walk away with a settlement that is fair and provides for your needs. In order to do this, you must know what you and your spouse own. Make a full inventory of all the assets and debt you and your husband acquired during your marriage. For example, gather the mortgage documents on the house, copies of your most recent tax returns, statements from your stock portfolios, a full accounting of each of your retirement accounts and all other documents that provide financial information.

Build your team

Your divorce team is going to be your strongest asset during the process. From you attorney to your accountant, financial advisor and even your therapist, these people can offer you sound advice. By building a solid team, you can have access to the guidance you need to make rational and informed decisions so that you have the most successful divorce possible.

Work through your to-do list

If you have a few things you have been putting off, those things that you thought you had plenty of time for, now is the time to do them. For instance, if you have been delaying some major dental work, take of it while you can. You do not want any unfinished tasks hanging over your head while you are focusing on your divorce. Furthermore, you will not want to deal with them while you are starting your new life.

If you are considering divorce, it is important to start planning as soon as possible. By making a few preparations, you may be able to make your divorce a smoother process and be ready to start over when it comes time to finalize the decree.

You never know all the questions you should ask so it was a blessing that they listened and provided plenty of recommendations as well as assisted with claim, deeds etc. They know what to expect and provided a service without being pushy and will go at a pace you want and explain the laws so that you can understand all the legal speak.
