Divorce Advice

Pitfalls to Avoid During Divorce

• Do not run to your solicitor each time your spouse is vile to you – this will cost you a fortune

• Make sure all the paperwork your lawyer asks for is in chronological order and complete, as delays and time taken to sorting through your documentation  will be costly

• When it boils down to it arguing over possessions with the aid of a solicitor could well out way the cost of a new item. Be reasonable you can always buy another telly!

• Using your children against your spouse is rarely going to make you feel good and will do damage to their future relationships.

• Your divorce lawyer is not a professional counsellor however sympathetic they may sound, good counsellors’ will not cost so much.

• Ask for an estimate from your divorce solicitor – they will not be bound by it but it should be a fairly accurate guide. Ask if they accept interim payments to spread the costs.

• The best divorce advice is listen to what your divorce Solicitor suggests, you have employed them to advise you and they have done this many times before.

• Arguments and accusations will not alter the past or influence the future. Don’t expect the truth or answers from your estranged spouse for their behaviour as they are not likely to give you either. The answers will only upset you so don’t ask.
