Some mistakes you should never make:

1. Send stupid, mean letters, text messages or emails to your so-to-be ex. All these will be saved and used against you later.

2. You need to prepare financially for the battle. If you don’t prepare, you won’t have a chance to improve your chances for success.

3. If you are working, you should never quit your job. You should never move out of town. Both of these could be potentially devastating to your case. Not only would you destroy your source of income (if you are not going to another job), but you will put yourself in a position where you may be forced to move back by court order.

4. Settle your case for less than you should just to get it over with. Financially this may be your only opportunity to provide for yourself for the rest of your life. When it’s done, you can’t go back and renegotiate. There will be some days when you just want to sign on the dotted line and get it over with. You owe it to yourself to stay strong and focused and think and act wisely.
