When your spouse has indicated that they want a divorce, and you neither want the divorce nor believe your marriage is over, it’s hard to think about going to see a divorce attorney; but it’s usually a good idea to do so anyway. Going to see a divorce attorney does not mean that you are getting divorced- it’s simply a chance to get information.
When people are faced with the possibility of divorce, they often feel scared, anxious, and lost. A lot of those emotions are rooted in the unknown about where the kids will live, whether the house will have to be sold, how much support might be paid or received, and how assets are divided. Talking to an attorney allows you to uncover some of the answers to these questions, or at least understand the different possibilities. Gaining that knowledge, and understanding realistically what may occur if a divorce happens, can allow the unknown to be come less scary, and allow you to focus on your marriage rather than focusing on your fear of it ending.
For questions about divorce or other family law matters, please reach out to one of the family law attorneys at Sandberg Phoenix.
