As weve discussed in previous chapters, divorce planning is all about organization. The more organized you are when presenting your case and the more precise the notes and facts supporting your case, the likelier you are to get what you want. As someone who has some experience in planning for divorce, I would like to offer the following tips on what you can do to prepare before you file.
Divorce Planning and Assistance:
Although I am thoroughly against sneaky divorce tricks, I do believe that at a certain point it is wise for individuals preparing for divorce to be pre-emptive. Lets say, for instance, that you have decided to file for divorce but havent yet told your spouse. In this instance, it would probably be wise for you to procure any legal documents, bills, deeds, etc. ahead of time. Since there is no telling how your spouse will react, its best if you secure everything you need to make a case long before you drop the news.
The same should be said of your bank account. Depending on whether you and your wife share a joint account, I recommend that you take as much money as you think youll need should you be forced to leave your home and/or should your spouse become revengeful and try to empty the account. While I do not recommend that you take all the money (as this can be used against you in court), there is nothing wrong with protecting yourself in the event that things turn ugly quickly.
Divorce planning means putting your interests (and those of your children if applicable) over the interests of your spouse. Just make sure that you are as fair as possible so as to avoid an ugly divorce process.
