One of the biggest decisions you will make when divorcing is the decision of whether divorce is right for you and your spouse. The decision is not quite as black and white as one might think. Even when s spouse is unfaithful, unkind, or even abusive many other factors come into play. Often parties are afraid that they will not be able to survive financially without their spouse's income, a wife or husband may have been out of the workforce for a period of time and be afraid of the economic results of having to re-enter the workforce, or a spouse may simply not be experienced handling money matters if the other spouse primarily handled the parties' finances. If a spouse has been unfaithful, you have to work through the initial anger and hurt before deciding if counseling is an alternative to divorce.
A competent divorce attorney should be able to assist you in developing a financial outline as you go through the divorce process, refer you to agencies who specialize in budget assistance or financial assistance, or refer you to a financial advisor. If you are struggling to deal with infidelity or abuse, a divorce attorney should have a network of counselors who he or she should be able to suggest to meet your needs.
When making one of the most important decisions of you life, be sure to weigh all of your options and look before you leap....
