You might ask, “Who would ever plan for a divorce?” While no one plans to divorce, the fact is that the divorce rate in the United States is about 50%, which translates to about 2 million divorces annually. If you are in the midst of a divorce, understanding the process and knowing what to expect can reduce stress and make the process easier. It is important to plan before, during, and after a divorce.
The divorce process consists of three phases: filing the necessary paperwork; discovery (research into the financial background of both you and your spouse); and disposition (possibly through mediation but sometimes through a trial). There are actually many options to settlement that don’t necessarily require a trial. Mediation or collaborative divorce might be an option for you.
