You never thought it would happen to you because divorce is what happens to other people, right? You are not alone if you were blind-sided by your spouse declaring out of the blue that they want a divorce. Since the pandemic, abrupt declarations by a spouse that they are unhappy and want a divorce is occurring more frequently than ever. Divorce attorneys across the board are experiencing a surge, not just in divorce cases, but also domestic violence and post-judgment cases. The Court system is overwhelmed, and there simply are not enough judges to handle the load. It is like the entire world is upside down.
Here are my top tips for a call-to-action plan:
Find the Right Divorce Attorney
You need an attorney who understands your family dynamic, who your spouse is, and the reasons your marriage is ending. This provides important insights into the strategies that need to be employed during the divorce. If you get the feeling that these issues are not that important to your attorney, then trust your instincts and find another.

Do Not Leave the Marital Home Without a Plan
