Who Should You Trust For Divorce Advice?

If you are sure you want to activate the big “D” word in your life should you talk it over first?

You may want to consider taking advice on the subject.  But, from who? Or is it whom?

You may have already been talking with your circle of friends.  This may be the least likely place to get good advice. It does depend on who they are and what they do for a living. If one or more of them is a professional in a field that is related to family relations they may have informed answer.

Consider that except in rare cases (drug addiction, violence, illegal activities) will your church give you truly unbiased advice. Their goal is generally to keep families together. While there are many advantages to that goal it may not be as right for you as you would like.

Watching the many TV gurus is also a place that will offer few truly good ideas for your specific situation. 

Depending on many factors your financial situation may require one or more financial professionals to help you navigate the changes that will come with a divorce.

The presence of children can add additional layers of complexity to the dissolution of your married life. It may be helpful to work with someone who is familiar with how divorce will affect the children from your marriage.
