Onward's Divorce Orientation
Onward’s Divorce Orientation
Preparation
Before formally starting your divorce, take time to understand the process, assess your situation, and gather key information so you can make informed decisions about how to proceed.
Think about your emotional readiness and the impact a divorce may have on your children (if any).
Inform yourself about the legal process.
Review your state’s divorce eligibility requirements to make sure you’re allowed to complete the process there.
Learn how finances are divided during and after a divorce, including key factors that influence the process.
Create a plan for your housing situation after the divorce to ensure stability and security moving forward. If appropriate, talk to a realtor and/or mortgage broker about finding a suitable new home.
Consider the possibility of jointly filing/co-petitioning.
