Divorce is a tough situation no matter how you look at it, especially for men. Here's some advice for men who have decided one way or another to divorce their wives. These 3 simple tips will help you mentally, emotionally, and financially.
1. Keep Your Emotions In Check- Of course divorce is an extremely emotional time, but the more men vent their emotions at their ex, the more of a chance the divorce proceedings will get ugly, and fast. It is just a better idea, no matter who is right or wrong, to keep things as amiable as possible. Just remember, more arguing means more money to lawyers fighting for your point of view.
2. Separate Yourself Financially From Your Marraige ASAP- If you and your wife are going to divorce, your finances need to split immediately. That means talking to credit card companies and telling them the story, talking to your bank and telling them that you don't want unauthorized withdrawels, etc... Your divorce and relationship with your ex may be amiable at the moment, but it can turn ugly quickly. Emotions can cause people to do drastic things, and that means your money may be at risk.
3. Learn All You Can Before The Proceedings- Obviously you are doing this right now, and that is a good move. Lawyers get expensive very quickly, especially if you have to rely on him or her for every single question you have about the process. They don't mind looking into things, answering questions, taking care of things for you...they charge by the hour!
