What to expect after filing for divorce

On Behalf of | Sep 1, 2021 | Divorce

Divorce is a different experience for everyone. However, every individual who is going through the process will experience some issues in one form or another. If you’re preparing to file for divorce, here are some things you should expect as a Florida resident.

Loss of control

The moment you decide to end your marriage, you’ll be giving up total control over your child as well as your finances. In some cases, your divorce will also dictate where you will live once your marriage is over. This will take some time to get accustomed to, and you may experience a range of emotions. It’s important to be honest about how you feel and to give yourself time to manage these feelings, so you can create a bright future for yourself.

Grieving your marriage

You may have been avoiding your emotional state when you realized that your marriage was headed toward divorce. You may have delayed talking to an attorney because you knew doing so would be part of finalizing the end of your marriage. But now that you’ve filed for divorce, it’s natural to feel sadness and grief. Divorce is a huge life change, and you’ll need to give yourself time to grieve this loss.

Divorce is one of the biggest emotional losses you’ll experience in life, and there are certain triggers that you may need to look out for. You may feel these triggers at strange times, such as when you walk or drive by a restaurant you and your ex-spouse used to frequent or when you hear a song from one of your ex’s favorite artists. Expect to feel uneasy for a while even if you are relieved that the marriage is over.
