It is getting tougher and tougher each day. How much more can either party take? Whether it be fighting, ignoring or just being indifferent, the marriage has dissolved itself and now is the time to do it legally. Getting a divorce isn’t in anyone’s ideal plan, but in some cases, it has to happen. However, a divorce isn’t as easy as 1-2-3.

Lawyers and courts are very detailed oriented. You will be asked many questions over and over but in different ways. You will feel like it will never end; however, there are things you can confidently go in knowing and being prepared with in such meetings.

Prior to officially filing for divorce, your lawyer will need information to make sure all paperwork can be done properly. Simple information such as both spouses’ names, birth dates and social security numbers are an obvious; but, then there is information on children. Names, birth dates and other information about children you have together and from previous relationships will be needed.

Who wants to be told who they should hang out with, whether it is with friends or family? Finances in general are hard for couples to navigate through, but being out of the loop on finances or not having access to the family fund is controlling.

Addiction, whether it's to gambling, drugs, alcohol or something else, is a disease that needs serious professional help and support. When it harms the one's spouse, children and the family in general, it can lead to such damaging effects that divorce may be the best way to approach the relationship anymore. The spouse can try as hard he/she wants, but if the addict does not want help, they make it clear that their priorities are not the spouse, children and family, there may not me another option.
