I’m currently in the middle of my divorce and have no idea how long it will take. I wanted to ask anyone who has gone through a divorce involving children, property, or even a pet—what’s something you wish you had included in your divorce decree but forgot or didn’t realize you needed until after you signed it?
Definitely consider including specific custody details for your kids. It can help avoid misunderstandings later on.

That’s a good point! I want to make sure everything is clear.
Make sure to address pet custody too! It’s often overlooked but can be really important.

I hadn’t thought of that! Thanks for the reminder.
Try to include how you’ll handle shared expenses for the kids, like school costs or medical bills.

Great advice! I’ll definitely bring that up.
Don’t forget about future modifications! Include a clause about how to handle changes in circumstances.

It’s also a good idea to outline communication methods regarding the kids. It can help reduce conflict later.
