If you are thinking about ending your marriage or have already been served with divorce papers, it is important that you have the right people to look out for your best interests during the divorce process and provide advice so that you always make informed decisions.
For the most part, that person will always be your family lawyer. But depending on your situation and who you have in your life, you may also receive free and perhaps unsolicited advice from friends, family, and other trusted professionals along the way. Some of that advice will be tremendously valuable, while others may not. You may also feel overwhelmed by how much advice you are being given.
To help you make sense of the path ahead, focus on this core list of advice for when you start the divorce process:
