A divorce kit is a term that means two things, really. The first is a do it yourself divorce kit with fill in the blank forms and so on.  Those divorce kit packages are addressed on the Tools & Resources Internet Guide so that you can just point and click to the best of them. The other meaning of the term divorce kit is more far reaching and essential and you need it especially if you are handling your own divorce.  We’re offering a free divorce kit you can print out for yourself only, and use with our best wishes. It’s not as complete as what you’ll find in the Divorce Dirty Tricks Guide 2003, of course, but it is a 15 page start into what you need and should be doing.

What should be in your divorce kit?  What is a divorce kit?  Well, think of it as your survival kit.  A divorce kit should include research on how to find a good lawyer, on how to determine alimony and child support payments.  A divorce kit should include references for all aspects of a divorce. 

            A divorce kit should include your financial budget and calculations, especially if you are the husband and most likely to have to pay out for financial support.  Both spouses should include in their divorce kit the costs to raise a child, if there are any involved.  Another issue is justifying alimony payments and amounts, low or high depending on whether you’re paying or receiving.

            A divorce kit should plan for the worst and include information on how to legally avoid the pitfalls.  Don't rely on anyone else for your divorce kit.    The divorce kit forces you to take a look at your marriage, its finances, its assets, its family, and make a plan.  The divorce kit should include information about the laws in your state.

 

If you are thinking about divorce, a divorce kit can and should be used months in advance before you ever tell your spouse that you want a divorce so you have completely logged all the needed information about your situation in advance.

Not just today, but because some wounds don't heal.
