Common Mistakes During Divorce and
Separation
·
Listening to your spouse’s version of
the law.
·
Thinking agreements signed between the
two of you can be changed later is a
common mistake. Just because it turns
out to unfair later on doesn’t give you
the right to change what you previously
agreed to.
·
Ignoring legal papers.
·
Signing a temporary order agreeing to
less than you deserve in order to keep
the peace.
·
Being forced to hurry your decisions.
·
Providing your lawyer with insufficient
information regarding family assets and
financial holdings.
·
Putting children in the middle or using
them as go betweens. Children shouldn’t
be asked questions about the other
spouse or used to relay messages. Adult
business should stay between the
adults. Children should not be forced
or encouraged to choose between parents.
·
Ignoring abuse issues to avoid angering
your spouse.
·
Allowing low self-esteem issues to
hinder you from getting all you and your
children deserve.
