In an interview this week, the divorce attorney shared several things a person can do before the divorce process gets into full swing.
King said, “First, and as soon as you can, identify and compile all the financial documents that you and your attorney will need. These include tax returns, wage payment slips, bank account statements, and statements for investment, retirement and credit card accounts covering at least the last two years. You should also obtain a copy of your current Social Security statement and take photographs of all tangible items of personal property that you may want awarded to you.
King also advised: ‘’Copy all these documents, load them onto a computer or a zip file, and then store them safely until you can provide them to your attorney. Also, if you fear being cut off financially by your spouse, you may want to apply for a credit card, as it will allow you a temporary line of credit during these uncertain times to get by and cover at least some of your divorce expenses.’’
King also cautioned that children shouldn’t be caught in the middle of a break-up and suggested that the focus should be on maintaining stability in their lives and minimizing the impact of the divorce on them. Don’t involve the children in the battle or ask them to choose sides.
According to King: “You should seek out a skilled, trusted, communicative divorce attorney with a track record for success to ensure the best chance of securing a fair and equitable divorce settlement. And ensure that you have a good and strong network of family and friends to support you through the process.”
Finally, King suggested “unless you are confident that you and your spouse can agree upon the terms of an uncontested divorce, it is best not to threaten him or her with divorce or raise then subject until you are ready to file because he or she might take a number of actions such as moving savings and other assets, taking the children away, changing passwords on accounts, etc”. He said, “If you can, keep things as civil and respectful as possible without goading or making the situation worse in the family home.” He added: “To be effective, you need to be organized and focused even though you may get angry and emotional at times. Stay mentally positive because, eventually, you will come out of the process stronger.”
