Start gathering documents such as bank statements, tax returns, pay stubs, and any other financial documents that may be relevant to your case. 2. Create a budget: A budget will help you understand your financial needs and limitations going forward. You’ll make informed decisions about property division and support during the divorce process. 3. Seek support: Going through a divorce can be a challenging and emotional time. Don’t be afraid to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist to help you through the process. 4. Read through our blog and other resources: Take the time to educate yourself about the divorce process and your rights as a spouse. This can help you make informed decisions and feel more confident and empowered as you move forward. 5. Consult with a divorce attorney: It’s essential to have legal representation to protect your rights and advocate for your interests during the divorce process.
