Regardless of the exact steps taken between the time the divorce papers are filled and the final documents are signed, any divorce process is going to require a lot out of each party – financially, emotionally, and psychologically. There’s no disputing that divorce is an impactful experience. However, there are opportunities to adjust the divorce path in ways to make it less stressful, less time-intensive, and less costly for all parties involved.

Couples are increasingly turning to alternatives like divorce mediation and collaborative divorce instead of taking the traditional divorce route.

Many people think that making the initial decision to get a divorce is the hardest part of the whole process. While it is a challenging call to make, the later choices you’ll have to make can be especially difficult when you don’t fully understand what you’re getting into. 

In order to have successful mediation sessions and make well-informed decisions, you’ll want to come prepared with a comprehensive list of all of your assets and debts. Without this, you and your ex-partner are left disputing the “what-ifs” and “maybes” without knowing exactly what you’re dividing.
