At the Land Legal Group, our experienced Los Angeles divorce attorneys understand that there are many reasons people pursue a divorce, and they are unique to each of our client’s marriages.
While some spouses have clear cut boundaries for what types of actions qualify for divorce — like adultery or criminal activity — for others, there comes a time when the partnership is no longer viable for varying reasons, and divorce is the unavoidable next step.
A recent divorce survey revealed that 37% of survey respondents stated they had been considering divorce for two years or more. Another 16% stated they had been thinking about it for more than a year. Others responded to the unrest in their marriages by filing for divorce in fewer than six months from the time of the incident.
What’s clear is, there may be no “right” time to get divorced, as there are many factors to consider when dissolving a marriage that can prolong the decision-making process — especially when couples share minor children.
If you are considering divorce, and are planning for the next steps, here are a few tips to get started in the right direction, so you do not have to traverse the legal responsibility of filing for divorce on your own.

Divorce is a life-changing endeavor and will require a partnership with a skilled attorney, so you have someone on your side, protecting your rights, and pursuing your best interests from the moment you decide it is time to part ways with your spouse.
As our Los Angeles divorce attorneys devise the framework of your case to include all applicable factors like property, asset and debt division, spousal support, child custody, and child support, you can focus on managing your physical and emotional well-being while we handle the details that will set the stage for your new life.
Establish an Ongoing Support Network to Encourage Positivity
No matter whose decision it was to get divorced, each spouse is going to be thrust into change, which may be hard to adjust to initially.
Building an ongoing support group, whether it is friends, family, professional therapists, or group engagement, will allow you to cope with the ongoing efforts of ending your marriage.
The more positive influences you have, supporting your decision to move forward in a new direction, the better you will feel about each of your decisions and how you plan to move forward after the divorce is finalized.
Divorces take time, so it is important to remain confident in your partnership with your attorney and your support group, so you have a team that is encouraging you to look forward to your new life during each step of the process.
Domestic Violence Requires Swift Action for Spouses Seeking Divorce
