Divorce 101- What you should know
2
Ending a marriage is one of the most devastating
events a person could ever face. It can be
overwhelming dealing with issues related to
living arrangements, property division, and
parenting schedules. Due to the emotional impact
of divorce, it may be difficult to focus on your
family and make sound decisions. This is why
hiring an experienced Salt Lake City divorce
attorney can be beneficial.

IT IS NOT ABOUT WINNING OR LOSING
Many people expect to win a divorce battle by
engaging in constant arguments with a former
spouse. It is common for divorcing parents to
expect too much yet it is rare for them to end up
with everything they want. For instance, one
parent may be awarded physical custody but may
receive less alimony. So there is no winner or
loser.

THINK BEFORE MAKING IMPORTANT DECISIONS
It is important you consider how a divorce battle
can affect the outcome of your case. Some
important aspects such as whether to keep the
family home can affect your finances in the years
to come. Take your time and determine whats
truly important to you and your family.
5
AVOID UNNECESSARY ARGUMENTS
Dont say cruel things you may regret later on.
Contentious divorces can be long and costly.
Also, remember your child needs to keep in touch
with your former spouse, no matter how difficult
he or she might be. You can always seek to
counsel for you and your children to cope with
the situation and the advice of a family law
attorney to know what legal steps to take.
6
DONT OBSESS ABOUT THE PAST
You must forget the past and move on. Focus on
the future and make wise decisions. Your attorney
will help you focus on important issues such as
when you get to see your children, where are you
going to live and so on.
7
AVOID TRIAL UNLESS EXTREMELY NECESSARY
Not all divorce cases require the courts
intervention. Sometimes divorcing couples hire a
mediator. It can be an attorney with experience
in contentious divorce cases. The mediator or
attorney will make sure all parties agree on
important divorce aspects. If the parties dont
agree then the trial may be necessary.
8
BE HONEST WITH YOUR ATTORNEY
You need to provide your Salt Lake City divorce
lawyer with important information in order to
analyze your case properly. Remember your
attorney can find out these facts so if you dont
provide them during the initial stages of your
divorce case, chances are they will harm your
case later on. Also, you will face penalties when
you fail to comply.
