How To Save Money During Divorce
|
| 1. Retain a paralegal service to prepare the Court documents. |
| 2. Make the decision not to fight and stick to it. |
| 3. Keep a record of all expenses. This helps resolve any discrepancies that come up when negotiating a settlement. |
| 4. Schedule a consultation to help you find and understand the financial paperwork, and develop a plan with a strategy to get what you need and want. |
| 5. Spend more time with your children, if you truly want to commit to them. This reduces child support payments. |
| 6. Use an attorney appropriately. Don't use your attorney as a therapist - they're not qualified and they'll charge twice as much. |
| 7. To save on spousal support, get your spouse a job. |
| 8. Take a class to improve yourself; learn to cook, sew and how to use a computer. |
| 9. Learn to live within a budget. |
| 10.
Settle for more, mediate, don't litigate. |
