Santa Ana family law advice
Santa Ana family law attorney Nam Doan offers this advice for spouses contemplating divorce:
- Remain civil. Even if you are 100% certain you are going to move forward with your Orange County or Santa Ana divorce, minimizing conflict will help you negotiate a settlement with the least amount of fighting. Fighting will increase your attorney’s fees and is damaging to any children involved.
- Avoid unnecessary disputes by speaking to your spouse with courtesy and respect, listening uncritically, accepting your share of the blame for the split, freely sharing information, offering to take the first step forward with a compromise, and acting honestly and transparently.
- Gather needed information and documents by creating lists of your assets and debts, assembling available statements, and outlining your income and spending.
- Begin splitting liquid assets. Fairly and openly divide your joint bank accounts into separate accounts. Obtain separate credit cards if you have joint cards. Freeze your investment accounts. Discontinue any lines of credit.
