Things Women Needs to Know Before Filing Divorce

Divorce is a tough process, and when it comes to managing the financial aspect it can be overwhelming and the burden specially on females can be daunting and depressing. Divorce is the end of marital ties however this does not bring end to parenting.

Women in India have limited rights & opportunities, all thanks to male dominant society of India. By this Article we do not intend to target males in any way, rather providing knowledge to the ones who lack the same.

1. Collect Documents:

Do carry your marriage certificate, wedding invitations and photographs when meeting an advocate. When deciding to file a contested divorce, WhatsApp messages, emails and child’s birth certificates, among others, will make for a stronger case.

2. Gather Documents:

Get a firm grip on the financial status of your husband about what he is earning and what he is owing to you and what he is accumulating, meaning the details of income, assets and debts. Make sure to collect copies of Tax Returns.

3. List your expenses:

Collect receipts of all the expenditures from babysitters to groceries to your grooming and break down your expenses into pdf or excel sheets. 

4. Don’t make haste:

Divorce is not about partners going separate ways but there are numerous life altering decisions which may lead to selling of home or assets and face lifestyle changes.

5. Update Will & Trust:

It is essential to update the wills and trusts if any prior to getting divorced, else assets may still go to the former spouse after divorce. It is always the best practice to consult the best lawyer for the dissolution of marriage. There is a common practice and trend seen that females generally search, “female lawyers near me” and the reason behind this is that most females are comfortable in discussing their problems with female advocates only.

6. Do not switch jobs:

Your boss and colleagues know you, and you have built a reputation among themselves in the organization. There are better chances of approval of a holiday or leave, and the pressure will be less.Switching to a new job will only add to the existing strain of the divorce and will drain you more.

7. Seek Professional Advice:

There is no such thing as to file divorce online unlike every other thing available at just a click. Financial Planners can give you the best advice when it comes to division of assets and side by side you can reach out to the best lawyers in your area and say, “I want divorce” and share your problems with what conclusion you want.

8. Collect Evidence:

If you are applying for divorce because of your spouse’s extra marital affairs or similar, then start collecting evidence such as chats, emails and pictures which may be easily available to you. Make sure that you do not speculate about your spouse unnecessarily as court may not accept your petition if it finds that you are filing the case just to fulfill your ulterior motive.

Honestly, dissolution of marriage is simply a long drawn legal process to separate from the partner and there is no winner in this battle. The process and legal proceedings could sometimes take a while. Instead of focusing on winning, the aim should be to resolve matrimonial disputes without much trouble, losses and with help of the best divorce lawyer.

However, there are matrimonial lawyers available for online counseling and legal consultation at Sharks of Law to holistically evaluate the various aspects and create a well-informed strategy helping you to conclude the case .
