Tulsa Divorce Lawyers – Preparation Is Key In Divorce
Divorce can be a very competitive process when the spouse’s are contesting the divorce and are willing to fight for what they want. Because divorce can be so competitive of a process, it is just like any other competitive process in that preparation is key to winning.
Of course let us clarify up front that divorce is not sport and divorce is not be taken lightly as if it is a sport. Divorce is a very serious matter that has life altering consequences. Because divorce is a very serious matter we recommend that you prepare accordingly so that you are ‘not blindsided’ by the well planned efforts of your ex.
With regard to your preparation, keep in mind that preparation requires time. Divorce is not something that you just ‘jump right into’ without giving a lot thought and some time (considerable time) too first.
Below is a list of three things for you to consider:
Number One: Time. How much time do you think will be required for you to prepare for divorce? It depends entirely on how complex your situation is. If your divorce involves children and large retirement accounts, then chances are high that the planning phase of your case will last several months. If your does not involve children and does not involve big money, then chances are high that the planning phase of your case will last just a short period of time.
Number Two: Cash Flow. Divorce is an expensive process. Because divorce is an expensive process, we recommend that you build a ‘war chest’ before moving forward. With regard to cash flow, check you monthly cash flow and make sure that it is healthy. Additionally, check your ex’s monthly cash flow and make sure that you are aware of exactly how healthy or unhealthy or ex’s monthly cash flow is.
Number Three: Transportation. Divorce can be a lengthy process that requires trips to and from the court house, to and from the mediators office, and to and from the lawyer’s office. Additionally, throughout the divorce process it is in your best interest to make sure that you are gainfully employed which, by the way, will require trips to and from your workplace.
Number Four: Children. During the early stages of the divorce process we recommend that you give serious thought to the children’s needs. Ask yourself questions about the children’s basic needs like: food, clothing, stability in a home life, schooling, and if the children are young ask yourself questions about daycare.
