Things to Consider When Getting a Divorce

August 5, 2021 by bemysocial

Anyone who has experienced divorce, whether they have been divorced themselves or are children of divorce, will tell you that it can be a difficult experience. No matter how clean-cut it might seem, they can still be protracted, which can affect you emotionally as well as financially. In Autumn 2021, couples in the UK will be able to apply for a ‘blameless divorce.’ At present, you need a reason to split from your partner, which can cause unnecessary tension. If you’re going through a divorce and need advice, our divorce lawyers in London are here to help.

Things To Consider When Getting Divorced

Here at Van Eaton solicitors in Streatham, we can provide objective expert legal advice if you have any questions regarding the divorce process. We aim to reduce the animosity and stress that can accompany divorce proceedings, helping you and your partner find a level ground that benefits both of you. If you are seeking the help of a family lawyer, read our latest article below to discover a few important points that you need to consider.

 

Keep Relevant Documents

In some divorce cases, disputes may arise concerning financial settlements, property, or valuable items. When dividing your assets, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Try to find and keep a hold of any documents that prove you have ownership to avoid a “your word against mine” scenario. They can be a big help, especially in aggressive, difficult divorces.

Documents proving ownership of items such as your home or cars can speed up the divorce process greatly and can help your divorce solicitor take those necessary steps to settling your separation. Deciding upon who gets the family home can be strenuous, especially if both parties have paid into its bills and upkeep. Having details of ownership can strengthen your case even more, so make sure you have them to hand.

 

Don’t Be Worried if it Takes a While

Divorces don’t happen overnight, no matter what unrealistic TV shows may tell you. They can be long, drawn-out processes, no matter how smooth the separation may be. For a few months, life after your divorce may seem confusing, especially if you have children to think about. It can be an emotionally demanding period, but with the right experienced solicitor, your divorce process can be as smooth as possible.

Here at Van Eaton solicitors in Streatham, our divorce lawyers in London can provide objective advice and implement effective dispute resolution to help ease the stress that can accompany a divorce case. Whether you’re embroiled in a property dispute or you’re looking for custody of your children, we are here to help.

 

Consider Children

Getting a divorce is a difficult process; when children are involved, it can make the whole experience even more distressing. No matter what, you should always aim to put your children and their interests first. Divorce can have a huge impact on children, and they need to be protected during the whole process. Try to avoid ‘bad-mouthing’ your partner in front of your child, as they need to have a relationship with the both of you.

It may be hard but encouraging your child to have a relationship with you and your partner is key. Putting your children first should be a priority, even if it means putting on a brave face. Here at Van Eaton solicitors, our litigation solicitors are highly experienced and can assist you throughout your divorce.
