Here are some tips that may help you avoid a bad Divorce settlement.
1. This may come as a shock but lawyers want to make as much money out of your divorce as possible, this is their business. If they can make the divorce stretch out over a long time they will because they will earn more money. Find a lawyer that has been recommended to you. But remember the lawyer who got cousin Bobby off of that DUI charge may not be the one who should be handling your divorce. Find a divorce specialist with a good reputation.
2. Make sure you find a good location to store all your personal and financial records. You should be the only one with access. Get yourself a new post box where you can have private mail sent to.
3. Speak to your bank and close all joint accounts. Cancel all joint credit cards and if possible ask your credit card company to issue you with new cards if they are in your own name. Your wife may have a note of the numbers.
