Dealing With High Divorce Costs
by John A. Patti
Getting divorced is emotionally distressing and stressful; of course, it can also be costly in a financial way. Many couples have chosen to separate rather than actually get divorced, simply because of the high divorce costs. However, with some couples, divorce is inevitable sooner or later and keeping the cost down should be one of your big priorities if you intend to file.
The best way to keep divorce costs down is to enter into the agreement without arguments. Once fighting begins, a couple tends to hold grudges, fight over everything, and the costs rise. It may be difficult to keep emotions to a minimum, but it will be worth it in the long term. Settling finances and other issues will be in the best interest for everyone involved. If there are children involved, it is also vital to settle the divorce fast.
It is important to be sure of what your goals are and to speak with your attorney about them. You do not want to have to pay the attorney to determine what you want, whether it is taking custody of the children, keeping the house or retaining other possessions that may be valuable to you. You should know what you need and want from the divorce.
It is essential to trust an attorney and not to be confused throughout the process. A lawyer is not a friend. A lawyer gets paid to get positive results. An attorney represents clients at trial. When a person needs someone to talk to, it is important to find someone else. Friends and family will come in handy at this time. They will be able to help a person get through the situation.
Having your divorce costs higher than they need to be will only add to the stress and anxiety of what is already a difficult situation. Your divorce will be a lot smoother and you can make it through the process by paying your attorney as little as possible. Keep your interactions businesslike, make sure you know what you expect from your divorce, and try to keep things as amicable as possible between you and your partner.
