Legal Mistakes Made During a Divorce Hire an Attorney Who Can Help You Avoid These Pitfalls If you have decided to file for divorce, your emotions are likely running high. You might feel anger or resentment toward your spouse for mistakes made during the relationship. You might suffer from fear or anxiety whenever you think about informing your friends and family of the separation. You might even find yourself feeling hopeful and excited about future plans and new possibilities. While these emotions are perfectly acceptable, in many cases, they can distract you from approaching your divorce from a logical standpoint, which can result in legal mistakes. Here are the three divorce mistakes our attorneys at The Stevens Firm see most often. 1. Rushing Through Important Steps In a rush to finalize the divorce, many clients tend to speed through the financial details of their marital estate. An overlooked but important aspect of preparing post-divorce finances is determining the amount of money each party needs to support themselves moving forward. Make sure you have all the information you and your attorney need to make informed, financially intelligent decisions before you present your case for trial. 2. Posting on Social Media Because using social media platforms is a common pastime in today’s technologically driven world, many of our clients use these outlets to publicize their private information to their friends and family. But when you are going through a divorce, you need to be cautious about the details you share. Remember that posts can be accessed by those who will use it against you in your case. 3. Hiring the Wrong Attorney You need to find an attorney who is experienced specifically in family law. Because your divorce settlement will likely dictate your circumstances for the next several years, be sure that you hire the best you can afford. Be honest about your expectations early on, and then follow their advice throughout the case. Our attorneys pride themselves on successfully fulfilling these roles. If you have further questions or need representation, feel free to reach out to our firm today.
