Stressful life events: Moving & DIVORCE
What is the most stressful life event? A recent survey found moving to be the most stressful life event. The second most stressful? Divorce. I’ve moved several times in my life, and in addition to the move itself, the organizing, packing, decluttering, cleaning, unpacking, and re-organizing is quite overwhelming. Add a divorce in the mix and it can be a traumatic experience for anyone.
When going through a divorce, one spouse, if not both spouses, are moving. It is quite common that spouses are still living together in the initial stages of a divorce proceeding. Having to find a new place to live, divide property and assets, and create a new budget are some decisions made in a divorce. If divorcing with children, there are additional considerations to account for, including the school district, your child’s emotional and physical needs, and behavioral issues that may arise as they adjust to new surroundings and new routines.
seek legal counsel for divorce
Moving and divorcing at the same time is a highly stressful and emotional time in one’s life. Hiring a professional moving company can alleviate some stress in the moving process. Similarly, hiring a professional legal team to assist you in a divorce can alleviate some stress. A divorce lawyer represents your interests, protects your rights, navigates the court process and provides legal advice.
