What? You don't know if you're getting a divorce? Better find out, first!

Protect yourself, start a secret checking account of your own and start stashing away some money. You can't stop someone if they want a divorce, but you can smooth things over by being well prepared, and money issues are always there. If you are certain a divorce is in your future, start thinking about YOU. Your happiness, YOUR future. Take this step as a fresh new beginning, not an ending. YOU CAN do this. Start looking at apartments if you are not keeping the current residence. My main advise is get some money stashed and be prepared!!!!

Divorce is extremely frightening. Settle down. You cannot formulate a good plan in a panic. Start by realizing this is not the end of the world. Instead a new beginning for you. As such you begin. Take this opportunity to learn one step at a time.

Start by thinking about why you are getting divorced. Experts (by whose definition?) say that if there are any unresolved feelings, then you are not ready for divorce as there are still options that can be pursued. If you have exhausted all avenues and it just won't work and you are emotionally ready to move on, then a divorce may just be the best option.

start saving money, go to an attorney usually the first visit is without charge, at least u will know how to handle this, and where to start. it is much easier if your husband and u already agree on matters, if not it can cost alot more. if u need to get a job get one, as it is very hard when going through divorce without any money.

If no children are involved go talk to a lawyer...they see you the first time fore free...infact go to many lawyers until you find one you think you can afford and who will get you want you want out of the divorce...BUT I would try therapy first..both of you go and make sure you give it all you got and that he does also...then if it doesn't work get the divorce..but don't be nice...but don't be mean ...just take what you think you deserve and fight for it.....don't let anyone ..him your or his lawyer sway you in any way...good luck...

Try counseling before just 'getting a divorce' many marriages have been saved if you talked it out with a third party.

Get your finances straight, make sure you have money enough to get thru till things are final, make sure your car is titled in your name with your insurance on it and your name is on any deeds to property you own jointly, checking account and credit cards in your name only, know how much debit you have outstanding, determine if you want the house if there is one, if he gets it or if it sells and split the proceeds, who get the kids and the pets, who sees them whem. What "stuff" is yours and what's his.....and a good atty.
good luck

wow.
well i know i'm just a teenager but my parents are going through one right now.
i would talk to him about it.
if i were in your position.
i know your thinking how the heck would a teenager know what i'm going through. but i think you should just sit down and talk to him about it. ask him why and what is going on. it may not go a good way and yet it could. you never no.
untill you try.
good luck love.â¥
