Don't Rock The Boat - Even though it may be tempting to just move out of the family home, don't. Check with your lawyer first to find out what the legal implications would be. In some states, it may hurt your chances of keeping the home after the divorce.
Seek Legal Advice Divorce is a legally and emotionally messy process. Ensure you aren't in a position that will hurt you case in regards to custody and ownership, as it may seriously damage your case later on.
Become Financially Solvent - Divorce has a way of wrecking a person's credit. While you are preparing for a divorce, you should get a copy of your credit score to see where you stand. If your credit is poor, you should start paying down your debt and cleaning up the bad marks on your credit file. Doing so while you're married can help you qualify to buy a house or car after you divorce. If you don't currently have a credit record, apply for a credit card in your name only. Establishing your credit while you're married is much easier than after you get a divorce.
Keep your Head This was your former "life partner", so if things are hurtful and insulting to you, you may react differently than you ever have before. It's key to remember to control your emotions in these situations. It's a lot more difficult to compromise and make progress if both sides have their shields up.
Be the Bigger Person It's possible that during the proceedings, both parties will have legitimate claim to something, be it property, possession or even something as petty as the family dog. When something this contentious arises, making the first step by conceding shows you're willing to be reasonable about this. Not only will it make further negotiations easier and make your ex-partner more willing to compromise, but it could also vastly improve relations after the divorce.
You Aren't The Only One Being Affected Often during a divorce, there will be children involved. It is essential to ensure that no guilt is felt by any other party other than the two involved in the divorce. This could rip apart a family unit.
Chin Up Divorce isn't the end of the world. You may have thought this person was your life partner, but there is still an entire world of people out there for you to meet. If you were capable of having a relationship with this person, then you're just as capable to go and start again. Children will add a level of complexity to any relationship, but do not allow them to hinder your life
