Things to do in the 20 week waiting period of divorce.

During the 20 week waiting period in the divorce process, there are several important things you should do:

Take time to reflect on whether you wish to end your marriage and whether there is any prospect of reconciliation.

If not, discuss and agree on child arrangements. Any agreement can be included in a Parenting Plan.

Begin to obtain financial documents such as cash equivalent transfer values of pensions, bank statements, and property valuations.

Start negotiations about financial matters to see whether a financial agreement can be reached. If necessary, consult a legal professional and/or a financial adviser about any legal and financial questions or concerns you may have.

Start dividing personal belongings and household items.

If you have a pet together, discuss the arrangements for the pet post-divorce. Any agreement can be included in a Petnuptial Agreement.
