Tulsa Divorce Attorneys - The Ground Rules For A Successful Divorce

Divorce can be a long and expensive process if you do not know what you are doing

. In order to avoid having a long and expensive divorce, we recommend that you follow a certain number of ground rules about divorce. This ground rules are what you might call "common sense", but as you know divorce is an emotional time that has a tendency to drain the "common" out of "common sense".

Ground Rule One: Plan Ahead. Divorce is a big decision that is not to be made "spur of the moment". We recommend that before you move forward with divorce, plan ahead. Plan your living arrangement, plan your money, plan your transportation, and most importantly plan for the children.

Ground Rule Two: Talk With Family And Friends. Your family members and friends can be a great support network during divorce. We recommend that long before you file for divorce, talk with each one of your family members and friends and ask their input.

Ground Rule Three: Talk With Your Ex. In some cases, ground rule number three is not practical. In the event that it is practical in your case, we recommend that you sit down with your ex and discuss the impending divorce and discuss settlement terms.

Ground Rule Four: Do Not Hire The Most Expensive Lawyer. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that because their divorce lawyer is expensive, that they have hired the "best lawyer in town". Keep in mind that hiring the right lawyer is not hiring the most expensive lawyer. We recommend that you hire a lawyer who has a solid reputation, is aggressive, is experienced, and who you are comfortable working around.

Ground Rule Five: Avoid Making Rash Decisions. Just like we stated above, divorce is a big decision. Divorce WILL effect your future for the rest of your life. That being said, divorce is no time to make rash, thoughtless decisions. Divorce is a time for you to think, ponder, confer, and then after weighing all of the options, making the hard decision.

Ground Rule Six: Take Time For Yourself. Divorce is a long process that WILL break you down emotionally and physically if you allow it to do so. So long as you are aware of this, and you make time for yourself and your emotional, physical well being, then you will be able to navigate the divorce process without having to compromise the balance in your life.
