4 TIPS FOR NAVIGATING THE DIVORCE PROCESS

🔹 1. Put Your Children First
Divorce is hardest on children. It’s crucial to protect your children from conflict, especially if you and your spouse are high-conflict. Avoid speaking negatively about the other parent in front of them. Ohio Courts place a high priority on your children’s best interest, and so should you.
Stability and routine are critical. Try to maintain consistent schedules and expectations. Our Judges take parental behavior during a divorce very seriously, especially when determining custody and visitation rights.
💡 Tip from W&L: We encourage our clients who are parents to consider enlisting the help of therapists, parent coaches and/or parent coordinators, depending on which professionals best suit their circumstances.

🔹 2. Gather Financial Documents Early
Divorce involves dividing marital assets and debts among. To do this fairly and legally, both parties must disclose all financial information. That includes income, property, investments, retirement accounts, debts, and any business interests.
Examples of documentation you’ll want to have on hand include:
Tax returns (last 3 years)
Bank and credit card statements
Mortgage and loan documents
Pay stubs or income statements
Insurance policies
Titles/deeds to property
💡 Tip from W&L: We let our clients know early on in their case what documents we’ll need from them. Having these documents ready helps speed the process up and can save you on attorney’s fees.

🔹 3. Be Mindful of What You Say (and Post)
Everything you say, text, email, or post online can be used in court. Even seemingly harmless or emotional posts can be misinterpreted. If you're angry, vent privately to a therapist or trusted friend.
It’s also a good idea to speak with your attorney before responding to inflammatory messages from your spouse. A composed, respectful tone demonstrates maturity to everyone involved in your case.
💡 Tip from W&L: We pride ourselves on helping clients through the emotional rollercoaster of divorce and coaching them through difficult situations with their spouse. Showing emotional control, even under pressure, can positively influence your case.

🔹 4. Hire The Attorney Who is Right for YOU:
Not all attorneys are created equal, especially in family law. You need a lawyer who listens to you, understands your priorities (whether that’s protecting your financial security, ensuring parenting time, or reaching a fair settlement), and can advocate astutely and compassionately.
Look for:
- Compatible communication styles
- Someone who won’t just tell you what you want to hear
- Strong support staff
💡 Tip from W&L: We believe in clear communication and strategic planning from day one. Your first consultation should leave you feeling more informed than overwhelmed.
