You Were Served Divorce Papers? A 3 Day Action Plan
from: Howard IkenCopyright 2005 The Divorce Center P.A.
Today
* Don't panic - best decisions are made with a cool, calm head *
Sit down, relax, and read the divorce papers several times. *
Don't call your spouse in anger - no contact is best for now. *
Read up on divorce - knowledge always helps take the fear away.
* When you finish the above steps, take a short break and then
read all of the divorce papers again until you thoroughly
understand what is ahead. * If you have children, do not draw
them into the conflict. This is best for your children and will
put you in the best position to win custody. * You have 20 days
from the date you received the summons to send an answer. * If
possible, take tomorrow off and devote some thought to the
situation.
Tomorrow
* You must decide if you will represent yourself or hire an
divorce attorney. * If you want an attorney, start calling and
find one that you like. * If you are a do-it-yourself person,
continue to read about divorce for 7 more days. You have almost
two weeks to act and you must become well informed. * Review the
location and amount of all your assets. If possible, remove
money from the bank and put it in a place of security. Do not
deprive your spouse of necessary funds to live on. That could
backfire on you. * Review your credit cards and any other
sources of credit. If possible, cancel cards that are joint
accounts or remove your spouse's name from the card. * Speed is
your best tool - be thorough and act today. * Go into
conservation mode and build a rainy day fund. You may soon need
it. * Begin to collect all records of assets, amounts owed,
property, deeds, and family business records. If you are in the
marital home, keep the records in a more secure place, like with
a trusted friend. * Call the IRS to find out how to request
copies of the last 5 years of tax returns - if you don't already
have them.
Next Day
* Continue your education. This is one of the biggest and most
important projects of your life. Read books and attend seminars.
Become an expert. * Make a financial plan or a household budget
for the next 12 months. Don't spend unnecessary money. * Get a
notebook and a holder for paperwork. Set up a central collection
point for all the information you gather during your divorce.
Keep a detailed diary and jot down anything you learn from your
educational efforts.
