If you are going through a divorce it is vital that you are aware of many of the divorce don'ts so that you are fully prepared.
It might cost you a lot if you brag on the web about things you've bought and vacations you are taking. You can't say one thing on the internet about how great and stylish your lifestyle is when in actuality you are quite broke, it can be very difficult to prove.
The internet helps you greatly to be in contact with your family and friends, but note, it can as well be arrayed as evidence against you in a divorce court. Posting drunken photos -- or even a seemingly innocent picture of you raising your glass at a get-together -- could be construed as something more serious than it really is, which can be particularly problematic when presented in the context of a legal proceeding.
In terms of obtaining a divorce attorney, don't skimp. You will be better off getting the best to represent you to beging with. Do not discuss financials without a lawyer at the table. If you don't understand what you are supposed to be signing, then don't do it. Feel free to ask questions if you are in any kind of doubt. If for some reason you anticipate a divorce in your future then you need to try and stash away a few extra bucks, it takes money to start over. And, totally avoid using the same attorney as your partner.
You want to make sure that you don't share things like credit cards. Your ex could be living the high-life on your dime.
You can't depend on the same insurances that you had previously, these typically change in a divorce situation. Often, the coverage will continue until the divorce is finalized, but additional fees may apply.
Don't move out unless you absolutely have to. Don't move unless your attorney advises it.
When it comes to material items, even though it may be emotionally rough, take inventory. Don't leave more than your share out of guilt, nor should you take more because of revenge. Make the effort to take note of both debts and assets that you both have had during the last few years, unless you are leaving due to abuse. Make sure you take notes, since you are on an emotional roller coaster you probably aren't going to retail all of the information.
Never make horrible statements to your kids regarding your mate. Don't pile additional grief onto them.
Don't become a hermit and ignore your friends. Friends are eager to provide support, so let them help. That's what friends are supposed to do. Need not worry; they will give a lot of advice on the don'ts on the divorce.
