Fundamentals: Do Not Move Out Moving out of the marital residence before divorce is final is the worst mistake you can make if you want a fair and quick settlement. This is especially true when minor children are involved, and you are seeking primary custody from the court.
Judges may consider the decision of one spouse to move out when ruling on property division. Regarding financial considerations, a spouse leaving the marital home must be mindful of their ongoing financial obligations. Names on mortgages and joint debts remain accountable regardless of residence.
One of the main drawbacks of filing for divorce first is the associated legal costs. Because youre the initiating party, you will be responsible for paying the filing fees, which can add up quickly. Additionally, you may incur higher attorney fees as your divorce lawyer prepares and files the necessary paperwork.
If you have not had any luck trying to talk your spouse into leaving on your own, try consulting with a divorce attorney to assist you by making written demands or threatening a lawsuit. The key is to obtain an enforceable agreement that your spouse is vacating the marital residence within a specified time.
In summary, if your divorce is complicated or contentious, hiring an attorney can be a worthwhile investment. However, if the situation is straightforward and both parties are in agreement, you might opt for a more cost-effective approach, such as mediation or DIY divorce resources.
