Have You Gotten Engaged but You’re Not Officially Divorced? We Can Help
Posted on: October 15, 2021
Couples are increasingly delaying filing for divorce unless there is a compelling cause to do so. A second marriage is a popular motive for doing so. Continue reading if you or your husband want to remarry and are consequently pursuing a divorce. Then call (949) 585-9055 to schedule a free legal consultation with Law Office of Michael L. Fell.
It’s official when a divorce decree is issued
What you’ll need is a divorce decree, which is the formal document that proves your divorce is complete. You and your husband will both sign it, and when a judge signs it, it will become official. The ruling will address a variety of divorce-related problems, including child custody, child support, alimony, and property partition.
Working with an attorney is the best option
If you and your husband have already sorted things out, you may believe you don’t need an attorney. This is untrue. Divorce mediation is a better option. This is simply the two of you and one legitimate party. The three of you will have legal, binding discussions on how things will go in the future.
Don’t assume that just because you and your partner have a nice relationship now, you’ll always have one. An attorney can go through all of the specifics with you to ensure that your intentions are clear and lawful.
Your lawyer can assist you in tying up any loose ends
Certain events may have occurred after you and your spouse ceased living together, yet they might still have an impact on your marriage. If you inherited money, for example, even if you were apart for six months, your husband may be justified in claiming half of it. There are workarounds, and communal property isn’t a factor in every scenario. However, that is still another reason why you should consult with an attorney.
