Divorce is a challenging time, but avoiding common mistakes can make the process smoother and less stressful. Here are the top pitfalls people face during a divorce and how we can help you navigate them.
Acting on emotion, not logic
It’s natural to feel overwhelmed, but making decisions based on anger or frustration can lead to poor outcomes, especially when dividing assets or arranging child custody.
How we can help – by providing clear-headed advice, ensuring your decisions are practical and in your best interests.
Neglecting financial details
Failing to disclose all assets or overlooking financial complexities (like pensions) can cause problems down the line.
How we can help – by guiding you through full financial disclosure and ensure all assets are accounted for, safeguarding your future.
Overlooking child arrangements
Disputes over child arrangements can escalate if not handled properly, affecting your children’s well-being.
How we can help – by focusing on creating child arrangements that prioritise the best interests of your children while reducing conflict.
Agreeing too quickly
Rushing to settle may seem appealing to ‘get it over with’, but it can lead to unfair outcomes.
How we can help – by carefully reviewing agreements to ensure they’re fair and sustainable for you long-term.
Not seeking professional advice
Relying on online advice or informal agreements can result in legal or financial complications.
How we can help – with in-depth knowledge of the law, we can ensure the process is legally sound and protect your rights.
Divorce is never easy, but with the right legal support, you can avoid costly mistakes and achieve the best possible outcome. We provide expert advice tailored to your needs.
