Listed in: Relationships > Divorce What to DO during the Divorce Process?
For the kids – Make sure you consider what your children are going through.
Legally - Communicate as much as possible with your spouse. Many problems regarding property and custody crop up during the divorce simply because spouses do not communicate.
For you - Experience has shown that compromising couples settle divorces quicker and for less money.
What NOT to do during this Period?
Legally - If you have kids, don't violate or complicate custody and visitation arrangements. Even if they're only temporary arrangements a court may view a meddlesome person as disrespectful of the court and this may alter the permanent arrangement the court later decides on. Don't mess around with your assets too much. Courts are suspicious of people that provide wildly different documentation of their assets than the spouse said they had.
For you - Don't schedule a vacation during this period. You don't want to have to disrupt your vacation to go to court.
