- Courts exist to process the law…Beware of “ the system”.
2. People often assume that their divorce lawyer understands money and finances. Although lawyers who specialize in family law often have a rudimentary grasp of their client’s money matters, it is truly the exceptional lawyer who really knows about a complicated financial picture. Mistake #2 is relying on your lawyer alone for financial advice.
3. Another assumption that many litigants make is that mistakes, or misrepresentations, made by their former spouse and/or a lawyer will allow for a redo of their court case. “In life, there is no pause button, no rewind, and definitely no replay.”
4. Expecting that your relationship with your former spouse will end with divorce is not just a mistake but a delusion.
5. Countless divorcing couples think that their friends will choose them and banish their former spouse from their social world. Most often this is not the case.
6. Yet another mistaken belief is that the court cares about the minutiae of your personal or financial life…they really don’t!
7. ”Ignorance of the law is no excuse” and thinking that your responsibility for shared debt ends with divorce is a pipe dream.
8. Something else people presume is that the advice they get from friends, however well meant, is accurate. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”.
9. One more mistake is anticipating that your divorce decree will resolve all issues. As we all know nothing is set in stone, and especially the law and personal relationships.
10. Last, but certainly not least, is counting on the parent plan to encompass all issues that arise as you co-parent.
