Before Filing for Divorce 3 STEPS TO TAKE Even though marriage is meant to last a lifetime, the simple truth of the matter is that marriages end every day. Filing for divorce will be the right thing to do for some people, but if you can avoid divorce and instead work to improve your current marriage, you’ll avoid a lot of sorrow and heartbreak.

So, before you give a divorce attorney a call, consider taking these steps first.
TRY INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING. It can help to talk to others about the situations you’re going through to figure out the best path forward. Many people turn to their friends and loved ones for advice, but they should really see a qualified counselor. Talking to an objective outsider will help you clearly evaluate the current state of your life so you can figure out what to do next. GO TO COUPLES COUNSELING. Unless abuse or addiction issues plague your marriage, marriage counseling is always worth a shot. A marriage counselor can help you to see the true intentions in each other’s words and learn to resolve differences so you can figure out how to improve your relationship. Many people complain about the high cost of marriage counseling, but going through a divorce is much more expensive. ASK: ARE YOUR MARRIAGE STANDARDS REALISTIC? No person is perfect, and no relationship is perfect, either. You need to honestly evaluate your relationship so you can determine if your expectations are realistic or not. If you don’t have a realistic view of marriage and still get the divorce, you can expect to face the same kinds of problems in a new relationship. If you have a spouse willing to work to improve the relationship, a counselor will help you both establish realistic expectations for the marriage.
