#8 on our list of what not to do during a divorce:

DON'T FORGET ABOUT TAXES
Typically, the person who is awarded custody of the children gets the house. But the house may not be the best deal. If you can't afford the mortgage, taxes and upkeep on the house, you want to ask for the investment portfolio of equal value instead. However, before declaring yourself king or queen of your block, remember: single people are not allowed to shelter as many capital gains from taxes. Stocks can also be at issue. Newly-purchased stocks may be more desirable because they will cost you less in capital gains taxes.

#7 on our list of things not to do during the divorce:

DON'T WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE HOLIDAYS
You already know the holidays are going to be difficult. So why wait? Divorce lawyers see an increase in clients before, during, and after Christmas. It's also easier to get used to an empty home before the holidays. If you wait (and fight) through the season, you may destroy any chances for an amicable split and wind up hashing out your differences in court.

If you have questions about this or any other legal matter, please feel free to give us a call at 580-224-2770 to schedule a consultation with our experienced attorney.

#6 on our list of things not to do during a divorce:

DON'T REFUSE TO SEE A THERAPIST
Seeing a therapist can help you get through the range of emotions that you will experience when dealing with divorce. It is a good idea to get help before you become extremely depressed or angry. A therapist is not just someone to talk to. They are also a professional who can show you how to relax, how to talk to your kids, and how to remain calm in court. Most importantly, a therapist can help you figure out how to become self-sufficient.

A question we are often asked is "Why can't I handle my own legal problems?" You can; however, self help "kits" do not consider individual needs and they may not be appropriate for your case. Many laws are complex, and subject to various interpretations, which can result in a great deal of confusion. Lawyers are trained to explain and interpret the law for you. Give us a call today to discuss this or any other legal matter at 580-224-2770. You will be glad you did!

#5 on our list of what not to do while getting a divorce:

DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON THE KIDS
Children need a supportive environment to deal with divorce. Minimize the amount you talk about the process. It will give you more time to be there for them. Refocus your energy so you can attend their school and after-school events, help them with homework, and take them out once in awhile to the movies or the zoo. When you are relaxed, they get more relaxed. Though you should be comfortable talking with your children about the divorce, the point of this divorce is to relieve stress on you and your family.

If you have questions about this or any other legal matter, please give our office a call at 580-224-2770 to schedule a consultation with our experienced
attorney.

#4 on our list of things not to do during a divorce:

DON'T SLEEP WITH YOUR LAWYER
It's easy to get close to the one person who is on your side. But it's also a BIG mistake. Some states prohibit all sexual activity between an attorney and client. Other states allow an attorney and client who had a sexual relationship before the case to continue the relationship. In either case, sleeping with your lawyer can compromise your attorney-client communications.

If you have questions about this or any other legal matter, please give our office a call at 580-224-2770 to schedule a consultation with our experienced attorney.

#3 on our list of things not to do when getting a divorce:

DON'T DISMISS THE POSSIBILITY OF MEDIATION
Mediation is conducted by a third-party professional - a divorce mediator helps you and your spouse reach an agreement. Mediation can be an ongoing process rather than a one-time intervention.

If you have questions about this or any other legal matter, please feel free to give our office a call at 580-224-2770 to schedule a consultation with our experienced attorney.
