When you’re considering divorce, chances are everyone in your life has an opinion. While some will be valid and helpful, others may drag you down.
As expert Michigan attorneys who have helped thousands of people in your shoes before, we want to offer a bit of help and advice for those considering divorce.
1. Put your kids first. If you have children, divorce can be harder on them that it is on you. Remember to consider their needs first and foremost as they didn’t ask to be in this situation. Make it clear to your partner that what’s in the best interest of the children should be put first always.
2. Educate yourself on the divorce process. It’s helpful to know about the timeline of a Michigan divorce and what you can expect along the way. The best way to do this is to contact a Michigan divorce lawyer who offers free, no obligation consultations. We’re happy to provide this for you—simply give us a call at (248) 588-3333.
3. Get your financial documents in a row. If a divorce is amicable, it tends to not be too difficult to get copies of important paperwork that you’ll need during the process. However, if you feel your divorce could get messy, it’s best to get ahead of it and make copies of your important paperwork before it suddenly “goes missing”.
4. Consider your options for divorce before you file. A divorce doesn’t always have to end up in court followed by a grueling custody battle. Instead, explore your options like mediation or even collaborative divorce, which you can settle without ever having to step foot in a court room. If you’d like to learn more about these options, contact our firm and we’d be happy to discuss them with you and why they’re beneficial.
5. Hire an experienced family law attorney. There’s no reason to tackle a divorce by yourself, and chances are if you try, it won’t end up in your favor. The legal system can be taxing and stressful, and it’s difficult to navigate by yourself. At our law firm, we have a team of lawyers who have helped individuals just like you.
