Common mistakes that plague divorce proceedings

On Behalf of | Feb 28, 2019 | Divorce, Firm News |

No one wants to make the end of their marriage harder on themselves than it has to be. A divorce is a painful and difficult process even when it moves forward without issues, but complicating factors can put unnecessary and burdensome roadblocks in the parties’ paths toward martial dissolution. There are a number of common mistakes that individuals can avoid to make their Florida divorces less complicated and more cohesive.

One problem that some individuals create for themselves during divorces is failing to secure all of the necessary paperwork and accounting from their former spouses that they will need to make good decisions about financial and property matters. A person who does not have a good understanding of their assets’ values may not be able to negotiate appropriate settlements. They may also fail to understand how taxes may impact their post-divorce lives if they are not clear on their financial affairs.

Another issue that individuals may walk into when preparing to divorce is their problematic use of social media accounts. Much of a person’s life is now published online and the comments, posts, and pictures that a person chooses to share may be taken into consideration when their divorce matter heads to court. A paper trail on social media may come back to haunt a divorcing party.

It is not possible for a person to anticipate every potential problem that may pop up in their divorce. However, the help of a knowledgeable family law attorney can assist a person in making good decisions about how they will manage their affairs and what to look for as they end their marriage. Individuals facing these and other divorce-related challenges may wish to associate with their own divorce lawyers.
