Renovating the kitchen, finishing the basement, upgrading flooring – home improvement projects of all shapes and sizes are exciting ways to add new life to your home. Unfortunately, these undertakings can also be stressful, whether you do it yourself or hire contractors. For some couples, their journey to spruce up the nest instead becomes the route to divorce.

No one goes into a marriage dreaming of divorce, but if you go into a marriage with significant assets, you would be wise to have a prenuptial agreement in place. A judge recently upheld the prenup singer Kelly Clarkson had with her soon-to-be ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, which segregates all assets and income earned during their marriage. Blackstock wanted everything split down the middle, but Clarkson was the clear breadwinner in the marriage and her divorce lawyer argued for “accountability” in the parties entering into this agreement.

Celebrity splits have always been big news. During COVID-19, some have created bigger headlines than others, like the Bill and Melinda Gates divorce. Couples who aren’t in the spotlight, however, are also living through their own high-stress, financially taxing divorces, thanks in part to the side effects of trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy through an unprecedented pandemic.

When you file for a Michigan divorce, the opposing party will respond asking you to produce financial and legal documents that go back years. They will also submit interrogatories which are, basically, a bunch of questions that you’ll feel your spouse should already know the answers to. You won’t want to respond to these requests for information. It will feel like busy work and just one more thing your ex is doing to annoy you. But divorce discovery is unavoidable and, frustrating as it is, you must play along.

No one can predict what the experience of divorcing their spouse will be like until they’re in the thick of it.

Splitting up is never easy, but some marriages break apart in far more volatile ways than others. But there are ways to protect yourself – and your children – from the negative side effects of a high-conflict divorce.

Social media has its perks. It’s a great way to communicate with those near and far and to spread a message widely with one small post. Unfortunately, using social media during a Michigan divorce can backfire too, turning an otherwise friendly platform into a firestorm of unwanted comments and disdain.

No marriage is perfect, no matter how much money you have. This is becoming especially clear as more news is revealed daily about the divorce of Bill and Melinda Gates. The power couple have used their wealth to build a foundation and donate to science and, seemingly, live happily ever after. But no one knows what’s happening inside a marriage except those two people – and even then, sometimes you only know half of it. Now that Bill and Melinda are getting a divorce, there are things every couple can learn from the fall of their union.

Actors Rachael Leigh Cook, of “She’s All That” movie fame, and Daniel Gillies, who starred on “The Vampire Diaries,” were married for nearly 15 years when they filed for divorce last year. But this isn’t the piece of information that’s making news – it’s the agreement they came to, with the help of a private mediator, where their children are concerned.

When couples with young children divorce, child support payments typically last until the child turns 18. But college comes next for many teens, and it’s a major expense for one parent to be left holding this responsibility alone. Their child may be an adult by law, and child support may technically have ended, but there are still bills to be paid – big bills. So, who’s responsible for them?

For many couples, once the decision has been made to get a divorce, they can’t move fast enough to make it happen. They want to separate, split, and start over, especially if they have been living within each other’s orbit 24/7 since the pandemic began. You may be tempted to head toward the do-it-yourself route to quickly put an end your misery instead of feeling stymied by COVID. But a DIY divorce is one of the worst things you can do for yourself financially and legally.
