Common Divorce Mistakes Women Make

According to Forbes, there are some costly mistakes that women make when going through a divorce. Here are a few that we see in many of the divorce cases that we represent:

Texting in Anger

Texting leaves a digital trail and will often be saved only to be presented out of context. Consider taking deep breaths and contemplating sending the text message off. It can be helpful to write in a journal all of your thoughts and if the next day you feel the same way then you could send what you wrote in a text or email.

Social Media Posts

The things that you post on social media can be presented against you in court. Status updates, online photo albums, comments, tweets, and Instagram photos can all be used as evidence to contradict statements previously made. They can help prove infidelity, mishandling of assets, emotional instability, alcohol/drug use and more.

Impact of Protection Orders on Divorce

Emergency Protection Order

In many states, when the police encounter a domestic violence situation one of the two parties involved in the dispute is required or requested to leave the home. Often, this person is the abuser, although the police can be mistaken about who the aggressor is. In about one-third of states, police officers are also authorized or required to remove guns when they arrive at the scene of a domestic violence incident.

In some states, the police can give the victim (or person believed to be the victim) an Emergency Protection Order (EPO). An EPO is a short-term protection order typically given to a victim by the police or magistrate when his or her abuser is arrested for domestic violence. The EPO is generally for limited period, such as three or seven days. This permits the victim time with an EPO in place to request a longer-term protection order.
