Can You Prepare for Divorce While You Are Married?

wpadmin September 18, 2017

Today we answer the age-old question: Yes, you can get prepared for divorce while you are still married. There are always some things for you to consider when you go through some large, changing times during your life – and divorce is one of them. By following some steps, you can ensure that you are ready for this time in your life and make sure that your assets are protected, too!

How to Prepare for Divorce While Married 

Saving Money: There are some things that you should remember about your finances in divorce. It pays to start putting money aside, because divorce is a very costly aspect and can be more costly when you have to hire an attorney. Once your divorce is final, it is important to be able to sustain yourself on one income instead of two that you may have been used to. You should also consider opening a separate bank account from your spouse and make sure that they cannot access it so you have somewhere to store the money you make at your own job. 

Documenting Your Lifestyle: You should always keep track of your marital lifestyle, which includes your income, spouse’s income, assets, debts, and expenses. You should also make copies of important financial documents from pay stubs to tax returns. Lastly, remember to store your financial documents in a safe place away from your home, as these documents will be very important in court.

Preparing for Custody Disputes: Keep a diary of important things that happen involving your children, such as who takes them to appointments and certain activities. You should also have copies of police reports if your spouse should not be around your children as well as other documents that back this up. Try to stay with your children in your marital home unless there is violence, in which you should leave as soon as possible. A court will sometimes choose to award custody time to a parent that stays in the home with their children. 

Preparing for Legal Representation: Speak to an attorney who can help you through the hardest parts of your divorce. It is important to speak to us about many aspects of your divorce, from splitting assets to child custody. We can help you every step of the way.

Beyond impressed! I had been self represented through years of family law and child support court hearings and was so hesitant to hire an attorney out of fear and trusting that they would appropriately represent myself and child. After tons of research I contacted Ms. Azizi. I immediately was greeted by Lorenzo, the Office Administrator, who made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. He assisted in making communication seamless and effortless and walked me through each step of the process. Ms. Azizi heard my concerns and was extremely sensitive to the matter of FAMILY. The team did an amazing job with discovery and building a strong case that gave me confidence and I was successful in coming to an agreement with the other party, in what has yet to have been the easiest hearing of all, thanks to them. Ms. Azizi settled my case after years of stress and agony. I am grateful for finding the team and Ms. Azizi and definitely recommend them for any of your legal needs!

This law firm is the best! They have helped me so much with my Divorce and Criminal cases and I really wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have them to represent me. Lorenzo and Ro are awesome and are there to help at all times. My attorney was Mr.Edmondson and he has been amazing. This law firm is truly great and I will never go to any other one. Their responses are quick and will answer any questions you might have.

Seven stars. I had planned to put up my reviews after my final judgment but after the first hearing, couldn't wait, and I would write this whatever the outcome of my difficult case. Soheila was simply amazing in her arguments and strategy before the judge. I felt so taken care of. I chose her for her near-30 years of experience as an attorney, the depth and strength I observed in one who had weathered hardship through her many accomplishments, her compassion, and her smarts. I can't imagine what other attorney would have Zoomed with me even in sickness to help prepare me for a legal session. And I later saw how keen she'd been in her advice. I've been deeply touched watching Soheila and her paralegal Lynda Walker fight for my child as if he were their own. They in particular have treated me with great humanity - day and night from what I experienced at my former attorney's. Lynda is a gem, on her toes, flexible, hard-working, committed to each client, humble, and sweet. She has slaved over my case, doing much of the writing, watchful of me on paper and in person, guiding me gently while encouraging me to use my voice. The staff, including the office administrator Lorenzo and Linda C, is caring, respectful, and conscientious. A band of angels.
