During divorce transitions, there are many things to consider, both external and internal. You will likely move. You will split up money and property. Your friendships with others will shift and evolve. You may find yourself taking care of things that your spouse used to do for you. You will split time with your children. You might join a new gym.
Then there is the legal part of the divorce. Lawyers. Hopefully a skilled mediator. Accountants, tax advice, and information about your retirement plans. Stock sales, court documents, a written settlement agreement.
