When is the Best Time to Get Divorced?

Posted By Law Office of Kathryn Marteeny || 25-Sep-2017

Just because you have come to the conclusion to get divorced does not mean you have to move forward with it right away. Choosing the right time to file a divorce is something that should be planned thoughtfully and carefully. Of course, ending a marriage will always be emotionally difficult, but there are other factors involved, which you and your spouse should both be concerned with.

For example, if you file too soon, you might be faced with a plethora of deadlines to produce documents or agreements that you might not be ready or prepared to provide. On the other hand, if you file for a divorce too late, you might be faced with the task of trying to locate missing assets or trying to discover transactions that are difficult to untangle.

How Will You File?

First, plan how you and your spouse will file for the divorce. Will this be done jointly, or separately? If you are planning on serving your spouse with divorce papers, you should consider doing this in a way that is mindful of his or her feelings. Sparing your spouse’s feelings and ensuring they do not get served in an embarrassing situation is not only the right thing to do, but will help avoid any particularly negative feelings when you have to hash out a divorce settlement.

Emotionally Prepare Yourself

Divorce is a major decision and you need to be emotionally prepared for this legal process. Schedule a consultation with a divorce professional to get a clear idea of what you are about to do. A divorce will have a fundamental impact on the rest of your life, so you want to feel completely ready for what is to come.
