5 Things you should NEVER do when you get Divorced

Posted by: kstewart in Untagged  on Print PDF

1.     Avoid at all costs hiring lawyers that claim they are going to fight for a “win” for you. There is no such thing as divorce in the traditional system is a zero sum game.  There are no winners.

2.     Never file affidavits about your spouse in the courts that claim to be “fact” but are filled with “perception.”  This will destroy relationships forever and cause huge unnecessary pain and suffering.  Consider some of the famous cases that learned the hard way; the Baldwins, Paul McCartney, the Trumps, Brittany Spears and many more.   I am sure you can certainly add to the list.

3.     Avoid allowing the courts to decide who will get the children.  That destroys everyone and is the most disempowering experience possible.

4.     Never think that hiring a lawyer is taking control.  It is the opposite as you give up control of your money, time and outcomes.

5.     Do not create chaos by being over reactive. Be proactive with a strategy that works.  Work with financial experts and negotiators.
