"WHAT ARE SOME DO'S AND DON'TS DURING MY DIVORCE?"

DO:

  1. Be reasonable and cooperate with your spouse.
  2. Support your children.
  3. Communicate with your spouse about when and where you will spend time with your kids. Talk about custody issues and come to an agreement.
  4. Fully disclose all assets and property. If you withhold information your divorce can be invalidated later on.
  5. Ask your lawyer for clarification if something is confusing. Divorces are complicated and a lawyer can help guide you through the process.

DON'T:

  1. Make plans to take a job in another state or move out of state until after your divorce is finalized.
  2. Violate any temporary custody or visitation arrangements.
  3. "Give away" your property to friends or family and arrange to get it back after your divorce.
  4. Go it alone if you are unsure of the process. It's very complicated and a lawyer can help protect your interests.
