7 Common Mistakes to Avoid in Divorce or Separation

While every situation is unique, the fact remains that there is a right way and a wrong way to go about a separation or divorce. There are a number of things that you and your spouse can and should do to make the process go as smoothly as possible.

Unfortunately, as Cheryl and Joe Dillon write in this excellent blog posting , I have encountered many couples that were, whether intentionally or unintentionally, committing common mistakes that actually hindered the separation and divorce process.

If you are planning to leave your spouse, here are seven common mistakes to avoid:
  • Failing to produce accurate financial information
  • Letting emotions take over
  • Not considering your kids
  • Focusing on the past 
  • Forgetting about taxes
  • Refusing to compromise 
  • Not taking the time to learn your options before beginning the process
