Steps to getting divorced Maryland
Making the decision to end your marriage is rarely an easy one. Aside from the emotional challenges that come with making one life into two, there are often an unanticipated number of struggles you may face that are both time-consuming and frustrating.
To that end, there are a few steps you can take on your own when it comes to getting divorced, which will ultimately help your attorney provide even better representation. They include:
- Gathering all of your financial documentation in one place
- Changing all of your passwords for your social media and email accounts, and changing your privacy settings. Do not remove any posts, or delete any texts; that information could be subpoenaed at a later date.
- Determining who will move out, if you plan to file for a “no-fault” divorce
- Opening up new credits cards and bank accounts in your own name
