Unfortunately for you if you are going through a divorce it is quite likely that the woman you shared your life and dreams with is now trying to get every cent she can out of you. Here are some tips that may help you avoid a bad Divorce settlement.
1. Lawyers are in business. They want to make money and the longer your divorce drags on the more money they make. It is in your best interests to find a lawyer who will try to get a settlement as quickly as possible. Ask around before hiring a lawyer and make sure you interview several before appointing one. If possible ask for references.
2. Get your private and financial records into storage where only you have access to them .NOW! Also get a private post box where you can receive private mail
3. Close down all joint bank accounts and cancel credit cards held in both names. Also consider changing your personal credit cards to new ones as your wife may have kept a record of the numbers.
4. Do not cut off all communication with your wife keep the lines open. You never know, one fine day she might just talk to you and settle the whole thing amicably, without any bad blood. Remember, if you stop communicating, things will go from worse to worst-ever.
5. Talk to your kids and let them know your divorce is not because of them and that you will never ever leave them alone. Don't allow your kids to feel the pangs of separation, no matter how unavoidable it is.
6. The easiest thing to do is to get angry and destroy correspondence from wife. STOP! This can be your greatest ally in a court of law. Keep all correspondence no matter how trivial it may seem.
