You have decided to move ahead with your divorce. There are many things that you must consider at this point in time; property, children and what will happen after the divorce is final. Seeking out the advice of an experienced Arizona Divorce Attorney can be critical to your success and to protect your rights. Many people enter into the divorce process with unrealistic expectations and without a clear plan. Here are the seven deadly sins to avoid when involved with a divorce trial in the state of Arizona
Failing To Investigate
One of the worst things that can happen in a divorce is if you are not aware of all of the property, assets and debts that your spouse has accumulated. Make sure you hire an experience Arizona Divorce Attorney to help you investigate all of your existing marital property, bank accounts and outstanding debt that you might have.
Ignore Mediation
Courts even now than ever before strongly encourage parties to mediate in good faith.
Not Letting Go
This is a hard one for some people. Once you reach the point of seeking divorce, you should be looking to the future and attempting to let go of the past. Sweating the small stuff like who gets the couch or the family pet could get in the way of the larger issues. Remember, you are dissolving a legal contract in a divorce and not using it to attempt to rehabilitate your spouse.
Not Following Through
If you have worked at reconciliation and mediation, the important thing now is to hold up your end of all agreements that you made. Take the focus off of whether or not your spouse is holding up their end and focus on tending to your own garden. One surefire way to get hurt during the divorce process is to not keep to all of the agreements that you made during the course of preparing for a trial.
Failing To Plan Ahead
Divorce is about ending one phase of your life and starting another. Keeping your eyes on the future is critical to yourself, as well as to any children that might be involved.

Failing To Hire An Attorney
There is an old adage that says “A person who has himself as an attorney, has a fool for a client”. This was never more true than in the case of divorce.
