Thankfully, there are many resources available to help you navigate these challenges. These resources include legal advice, financial planning, emotional support, family planning, and more. Our family law attorneys are ready to guide you through this process.

Legal Advice

A divorce is a legal proceeding. Depending on the circumstances, the divorce may require resolution of issues such as dividing marital property, child custody, and spousal support. It is important to understand your rights and obligations. Speaking to an attorney can help you understand them. An experienced divorce attorney can also discuss the filing process, negotiations, court appearances, and other aspects of the divorce process. In more amicable circumstances, your attorney can help you with navigating the mediation and collaborative divorce process to help settle any differences you may have with your spouse

Financial Planning and Property

Divorce proceedings can dramatically affect your personal finances. Making preparations for your financial future is crucial. These preparations may include creating a new budget, taking a second look at your assets, opening new accounts for investment and savings, and more. These financial challenges can become overwhelming and consulting with a financial planner or accountant can make this process easier for you. Financial advisors can help you understand the long-term financial impact of a divorce settlement or judgment and improve your financial situation after the divorce.

Emotional Support

Legal and financial issues aside, divorce can take an emotional toll on you and your children. Seeking emotional support to help you and your children deal with the stress of divorce and adjust to life after divorce. Support from counselors, therapists, or other mental health providers can help tremendously. This support can also ensure that you are able to manage and make sound decisions regarding the legal and practical aspects of divorce. Local communities also offer divorce support groups that provide a safe space to connect with others in similar situations. When dealing with custody issues, children’s mental health is important. Individual therapy for children can help support their emotional well-being during and after the divorce. Coparenting therapy and family therapy can help you and your ex maintain an amicable and communicative relationship to help reduce any conflict that may impact your children. Research shows that children of divorce fare better when their parents can still work together amicably to support the children’s best interests.
