Are you really ready to file for divorce?
Too often individuals don’t fully think through the steps for separation and divorce. Out of desperation, ignorance and fear, they move forward without any plan. This article is written for you who are contemplating, or just in the beginning stages of divorce.
“How do I file for divorce?” Being a divorce mediator, I am often asked that question and my response is always the same, “Where in the process of separation and divorce are you?” And, “ Are you really ready to file ?” Based on our experience, we have written a short, simple and important ebook that could literally save your life, and if not your life, at least your pocket book. It’s called “ 8 Steps to Separation & Divorce .” If you feel or see the signs that divorce may be heading your way, this is a must-read! It will help you prepare for the rocky and rough rollercoaster ride in the future. It can also help you save considerable amounts of time, money and stress. It’s important to remember that if you need a lawyer in the future, everything you do now will save you thousands of dollars in legal bills. You can call it looking out for # 1. So don’t feel guilty about preparing for the worst because there is nothing ethically nor legally wrong with collecting family documents, getting your own bank accounts and VISA cards, etc. Separation and divorce in British Columbia will change the way you live and this book steps you through the most important parts requiring preparation. Stuff like:
- how to figure out spousal support and child support calculations,
