Getting a divorce is a difficult experience for most people, made even harder by a complex legal process and decisions that can have serious consequences on the rest of your life. Payne Law Office, a team of experienced family law attorneys in Lincoln, NE, recommends taking some time before filing for a divorce. Follow these preparation tips to help get your new life started on the right track:

  • Consult an Attorney: You'll want the opinion of a legal expert with a deep understanding of the divorce laws in your state. Having legal representation will make sure that your rights are respected throughout the process.
  • Make a Plan: Whenever possible, try to resolve as many issues with your spouse as possible before filing, including living arrangements and the division of important assets. This will decrease the friction between the two of you, as well as make your divorce process shorter and much less expensive.
  • Start Building Your New Life: Getting divorced means establishing your own independence, so open credit cards and a bank account in your own name as soon as you've made the decision.
  • Stay Focused: Don't let your day-to-day feelings about your marriage influence the decisions you make as you go along. Try to stay focused on your long-term goals and building the life you want after the divorce.
