CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Admit it: Many of us make and then break the same New Year’s resolution year after year: lose weight, save money, be more appreciative of friends and family. But Nicole Sodoma and her team of compassionate, tenacious attorneys at family law firm Sodoma Law have seen, for many, the New Year is also a time when unhappy spouses not only resolve to divorce—they hustle to act on their decision.
Sodoma Law shares their top tips to help educate and empower anyone approaching this milestone:
1. Set your Objectives
- What do you want your family’s life to look like post-divorce? For example, joint custody or will one parent have primary custody of the children? Keeping or selling the family home? Once you have separated, what financial support will you need? What financial support do you have?
2. Put Finances in Order
- Pull together a listing of joint and individual accounts; review your prenuptial agreement if you’ve one in place – or, perhaps a postnuptial agreement may be the right choice for your situation for now.
3. Remember: Put Kids First
- Outline your ideal parenting agreement and consider consulting a parenting coordinator if you believe your relationship will have high conflict.
4. Choose an Attorney
- Make sure you have done your homework, to avoid investing in hiring the wrong one for you. Research online, ask friends (if you are comfortable in doing so), and determine who will best suit you and your family. No two family law attorneys are alike and finding one you trust (and whose practice focuses on family law) could be critical to how your case and its results are shaped.
