Divorce has long-term consequences – personal, emotional, financial, etc.
Don't follow the example of couples who try to rush through things to "get it over with." Instead, take care of yourself before telling your partner you're ending the relationship.
Ensure your access
You should be sure that you have access to residential premises, vehicles and other property, financial documents, photo and video evidence, letters, etc. - all of which may be useful depending on the issues in your case.
Before divorce proceedings begin, you have more freedom to make copies, take photographs, and gather other materials.
Clean up social media
A divorce lawsuit may raise issues that require lawyers to turn to social media to resolve.
Social media profiles can help establish a time frame for events, provide photographs, information about a spouse's behavior, or reveal their views, arguments, and state of mind.
Make sure your social media page reflects the picture you want to present to the court.
Remember that your significant other also uses social media – it might be worth saving information that might be useful in your divorce case while you still have access to it.
Make some repairs
After a divorce, many people face unpleasant consequences in the form of financial restrictions.
Because the court may decide to restrict your ability to dispose of your property, try to resolve issues such as repairing a leaky roof before filing a lawsuit.
Sell your property
Likewise, if you are planning to sell a property in the near future, it is better to complete the transaction now rather than trying to force your ex-spouse to agree after litigation and court intervention.
Update your will
Life is unpredictable, so if you want to ensure that only those truly close to you, and not your ex-spouse, benefit from your death, rewrite your last will.
