A well-known popular saying holds that one should know from whom to divorce.

I will add that my professional experience shows that it is no less important, and even more important, to know how to divorce.

The decisions you make from the beginning will have a significant impact on the way the divorce is conducted, and most importantly - on their outcome.

What are the issues to be decided in the early stages of divorce?

At the earliest stage of divorce, even before notifying your spouse, there are many dilemmas to resolve.

For example, where should the divorce case be opened - to which of the courts (the rabbinical court or the family court) should the application for a dispute resolution procedure be submitted, and when is it advisable to do so?



There are other dilemmas, such as, for example, when to tell a son or spouse that we have decided to divorce?

In what way to tell them this?

What documents and information should you collect before notifying?

And, should (and when) open a separate bank account?

Is (and when) the right time to leave the shared home?



To the average person, the answers to these questions seem trivial.

It is clear that in a divorce there is a separation of bank accounts, and that the spouse must be notified of the desire for divorce.

However, the timing of any such action is critical.

If, for example, you gather all the financial information about the common property even before you inform the spouse of your desire to divorce, you can prevent a situation where he / she hides common property or assets.



The family law attorney you will be consulting with will be able to examine the circumstances of the case, and advise you on how to act in each area in a way that will protect your interests in divorce.

Why is it advisable to consult a family lawyer?

Before making any important decision we usually consult an expert in the field. Before taking out a large mortgage loan, we will consult and plan the procedure with a mortgage adviser. This is probably how you will behave even if you are about to undergo major surgery, and you will most likely seek a second and perhaps a third opinion from a medical expert in the field of surgery, before deciding whether and how to perform it.



The decision to divorce is no different. This is a decision from a year of life, which requires professional advice and guidance from someone whose area of ​​practice is legal - a family law lawyer. At the initial counseling session, the lawyer will gather comprehensive information from you - about you, your family, the common property, the circumstances of the divorce and more. Based on the information you provide, and his in-depth knowledge of the law and case law, the lawyer will lay out for you the various options available to you at each stage of the divorce, and in particular - what the consequences of each decision you will make.



The lawyer will know, for example, to look to the future and assess how the court may decide on various property issues, which are specific to your case, such as large and complex property, a business owned by one of you, property you received before marriage and more.

Accordingly, you can plan how you will approach the division of property and make sure that your interests and those of your children are safeguarded.

Why come to a counseling session from the beginning even in a "simple case" where there is not much property?

Many clients come to me for the first counseling session feeling that their case is simple and does not require complex representation. For example, a person he and his spouse have not accumulated much property, and in his opinion all that needs to be settled is the "children's interest".



It is true that in matters of property the strategic conduct of both parties is of crucial importance, but in practice, sometimes the affairs of the common children, which are perceived by many as a seemingly simple matter, are, in fact, a very complex issue. The decisions you make about your minor child - such as custody, alimony, length of stay and responsibility for child care - will accompany you for many years to come, and will affect your relationship with the children and their well-being. And no less, your financial situation and your ability to make a living and support yourself and them.



In conclusion, the purpose of the first counseling session before opening a divorce proceeding is to do a strategic analysis of your case and outline the best way to manage the divorce and resolve the various dilemmas so that your interests, but also the best interests of the children and the whole family, are well represented.
