When you are faced with divorce there is a lot to consider, whether it is living arrangements for the children, moving to a new house and maybe even a career change. These milestones are lifechanging, so it is important you realise that the decisions you need to make are for the long-term. In every situation, many difficult decisions will arise, and there will often be repercussions for your decisions which is why we recommend that you focus on the most important issues whilst considering your long-term goal.
If you are unaware of the process involved with a divorce, it is human nature to ask those close to you or those who have experienced it themselves. It is important that whilst you should receive emotional support of those surrounding you, you should not take legal advice from anyone other than a Divorce Solicitor. No two divorces are ever the same, therefore taking advice from others based on personal or third-party experiences may cause you unnecessary stress, worries and anxiety. The same can be said for search engine results. Searching online will provide you with thousands of answers to your query, but not one may be credible.
To ensure that the advice you receive is reliable, you should instruct a knowledgeable Solicitor. It is important that you place such a personal, sensitive problem in the hands of someone you can trust and rely on. The work and effort your Solicitor puts into your case will have an ultimate effect on your future emotional and financial situation. Before starting proceedings, you must make sure you believe that your Solicitor has your best interests at heart and will therefore pursue your case to achieve the best outcome possible.
This is only achievable if you ensure that you have provided your Solicitor with all the information they require with regards to the nature of the divorce and your financial situation. We always recommend being open and honest with your Solicitor because if you are not, you may have to compensate for your actions at a later date or even more, face consequences. Whilst it is important that your Solicitor is aware of your entire situation, it is also important that you do too. This may require the external support of financial advisors, accountants and surveyors. Our Solicitors can advise you on who to contact depending on your situation and provide you with recommendations.
