Does divorce pain ever go away?
The residual anger, hurt, confusion, depression, and even self-blame don’t just disappear once a divorce is finalized. Even if you’re the one who pushed for it, divorce still creates all sorts of emotional pain, so don’t be surprised if you’re still feeling the pain of divorce and struggling to move on in your life.
Why is the date of separation important in divorce?
Courts will use the separation date to determine marital and separate property. Anything the parties had before the date of the marriage and obtained after the separation date is separate property. Issues arise when one spouse receives significant assets, such as a bonus or commission, near the separation date.
Can I negotiate my divorce settlement?
Most lawyers will tell you not to even try to negotiate your own divorce settlement. That’s because most lawyers believe that they can negotiate for you better than you can negotiate for yourself. For many people, that is probably true. Negotiating something as emotional as your own divorce, is even tougher.
How does a contested divorce work?
The uncontested divorce is where both spouses agree to all the terms of the divorce. An contested divorce is where the spouses cannot agree and must go through the entire divorce process to get a judge to make the final decision. The uncontested divorce is accomplished by filing of a joint petition for divorce.
