In A Divorce, Preparation Is Critical

One of the most important steps in a divorce occurs before you ever file any papers. The step? Preparation. The days, weeks or even months before you file for divorce grants you invaluable time to gather financial documents, seek hidden assets and disentangle yourself from your spouse’s financial and legal matters. You can also take proactive measures regarding your post-divorce finances.

The more time you have to prepare for your divorce filing, the better. You should contact Harry Lewis Co., LPA, as soon as possible so an experienced Columbus divorce lawyer can help you prepare.

Should You Divorce With Or Without A Lawyer?

When spouses consider an amicable divorce, they question whether or not they need an attorney. Without the guidance of a lawyer, a spouse risks giving up more than necessary in asset division, missing out on a fair custody agreement and considerably extending the time it takes to resolve a divorce. No matter what kind of divorce you are pursuing, make sure you have an attorney on your side.

Which Type Of Divorce Is Right For You?

There are four primary types of divorce to consider when ending your marriage. A divorce is the standard method of enlisting the aid of the court to end your marriage. Dissolution refers to when a couple ends things on their own. An annulment is a process of undoing a marriage, making it as though it never happened, and a legal separation is a court order that requires a married couple to live separately and can specify matters of child support, visitation, and custody.

Within each of these types are different options as well. For example, is it more appropriate to file a fault-based or no-fault divorce? A skilled divorce attorney can help you review your unique needs and help you decide which option is best for you.
