The mistakes you can make in your divorce.
So yesterday we talked a little bit about just getting it right your divorce. There is so many mistakes that you can make,one of the biggest mistakes is being extremely nice to your spouse thinking that either you will win them back. You are in a divorce, time to think of yourself here, your future, nothing wrong with remaining neutral, but its time for you to get what you deserve, and I am sure that's what your divorce lawyer will tell you. So now lets run over a few other things that people seem to make mistakes of in their divorce.
Not knowing what you have property wise in the divorce, even debt wise, it is so important to know what you have acquired over the years. So now it is time to sit down and make a list of all your property your debt, stocks, bonds, you name it. So make sure you know what you have, so that you do not just get debt in the divorce.
I believe one of the most important things you can also do is talk to someone, not a family member, they always take sides and basically tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear, its good to get some sort of counseling when going through a divorce. If there are children in the divorce it is important for them to have counseling also, its good for the whole family, helps people move on and realize things are not your fault or theirs.
Another thing people seem to ignore is taxes, keep an eye on your taxes, they can come back to bite, if you do not get things straightened out when you divorce.
Make sure that your not spending to much time letting your divorce lawyer gather information for you, get in there, help and know what is going on in your divorce, ask questions about your divorce. So many people set back and just have no idea what is going on, make sure you do, make sure you know what your getting and not getting.
READ YOUR DIVORCE PAPERS BEFORE YOU SIGN THEM!!!!
Even if your not the one wanting the divorce, you still need to think about your future, so think about what you do want, stay in control of the situation, take control of your future!
And remember we are hear to listen if you just need to scream, we all need to do that from time to time!
