Do you think you should cut all ties when you are going through a divorce?

Question

Meaning should you get rid of cars, property ?

Answer 1

Only if you have feelings that you can't resolve attached to the property. If you don't, then you're probably best off keeping them because when you sell things second hand, you can never get enough to replace them with. The only other reason I can think of for selling everything would be so the cash can be split exactly down the center and then there is no arguments over who gets what.

Answer 2

YOu don't have to get rid of the property, but you should decide on a fair equitible settlement for such property. In a lot of cases it's easier to just sell the items and split the amount recieved for them. In some cases, one of the people requires and item more than the other person. Civility would be served if the other person would give up rights to the property and take value in some other posesion. Sort of like a trade. If you cannot come to a settlement on who should get the items, then sale of the property would make sense. You both know that you want out of the relationship, so if you can be amicable enough to work out who gets what, things will go easier. Over all, you may think that you are only annoying each other, but you're both making your lawyers more money. The quicker you can come to an agreement, but sooner and less expensive it will be to get on with your lives and move forward.

Answer 3

If you find it impossible to agree then sell whatever and split the amounts gained or lost. Same with credit card debt. Otherwise if there are kids involved the absolute best thing to do is get along as well as possible. Divorce can be devastating to kids but when the two people get along well through the bad parts it makes it alot easier

Answer 4

mmm, i would say to assure joint bank accounts cannot be stripped of all your precious earnings by one party or the other. close those as soon as possible if need be. with cars i had to refinance in my own name as to avoid fighting over it in court, it will be seen as an asset and either of you could get it. i know that's something i'd rather keep than give away with a smile! property can also be refinanced, or in a desperate situation sold. so i suppose in short i do think it's a good idea to cut all ties or as many as possible, divorces can get nasty, even though you once loved each other people like to win.

Answer 5

yes dont even talk to the ex when you are getting a divorce . the lawyer will tell you that . keep all comunication to a minimum or not at all. yes get rid of everything I did . I sold off my harley ,my washer and dryer ,my refrigerator and my violin my prized possesion . also he came and stole alot of stuff he still had a key to the house i was so upset. He stole towels and plastic storage food containers he was pitifull. He is from a mountain family . they are clannish and petty so if your ex is like this make sure he does not have a key. good luck and god bless.

Answer 6

What about relationships? You don't even mention those! Most divorces are not pleasant and aren't easily solved in the way of dispersing tangible things. The best way is to sell everything, split the proceeds and do what you want with the money after the divorce.

Answer 7

No, property should be divided equally. If there are children, of course the property settlement would be different.

Answer 8

you should divide the property evenly. you can't share property when you're divorced.

Answer 9

Only if its a mutual agreement, if not, get ready for the "want" wars.

Answer 10

yeah this will help resolve any future problems
