5. Don't File For Divorce Until You Know How You Want To Get Divorced.

Get Educated about the choices of processes available and how the system works. You are far less likely to make mistakes you will regret later if you get educated first.

Getting divorce advice from friends, family and neighbors can be a bad idea. Even if they have been through a divorce, they are not divorce experts and they are no objective. Rely on them for support and not advice.

Identify what is important to you in your divorce as soon as you possibly can. Then keep your eye on the goal. Focus on what matters and let go of what does not.

It will cost more time,money and emotional energy than you could even imagine. Unless your spouse is being completely unreasonable or refuses to cooperate, do whatever you can to try to keep things amicable.

So many people want to keep the house, for the sake of the kids.Yet keeping the house only makes sense if you can afford it. Period.

Don't use other Divorce Professionals as your therapist. Dealing with your emotions  will allow you to make much better decisions in your divorce.
