  5. Divorce is a significant change, and a lawyer is not the only specialist we suggest. It is important to stay on top of your mental wellbeing and therefore we suggest counselling or therapy where required not only for you but also for any children involved.
  6. You will also want to compile all essential documentation such as marriage certificates, tax returns, wills, property deeds, insurance policies and loan agreements.

 

A smooth and agreeable divorce process will not only benefit you, but it will also help minimise the impact on any children involved.
