What Can You Lose in a Divorce?<\/strong><\/p>\n Consider the things you can end up losing when your divorce is final:<\/p>\n If you and your spouse share children, you will have to agree to a mutually acceptable custody arrangement or go to court to have the judge decide for you. While Florida courts favor joint custody arrangements where both parents share equal timesharing and parental responsibilities, you are likely to lose some time with your kids.<\/p>\n If the court determines that it is in the best interests of the child to award sole custody to the other parent due to child abuse or neglect, you may end up losing your children altogether.<\/p>\n Many people do not think about the impact of their divorce on their standard of living. Most divorcees are unable to maintain the same standard of living established during the marriage. You may end up looking for a higher-paying job to get yourself closer to the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage.<\/p>\n It is vital to reevaluate your budget and spending habits after the divorce to be able to manage finances more efficiently.<\/p>\n A large percentage of Americans have insurance coverage through their spouse\u2019s employer-provided insurance. Most people lose their spouse\u2019s employer benefits when they get a divorce. Therefore, if you do not work for an employer that offers the same benefits, you may no longer enjoy your former spouse\u2019s employer-provided benefits.<\/p>\n While the idea of not having to see their in-laws is favorable for many divorcees, people who have a close relationship with their spouse\u2019s relatives may find it painful to say goodbye to their in-laws once and for all. While many divorcees are able to maintain a healthy relationship with their in-laws even after the divorce, others stop communicating with their former spouse\u2019s relatives.<\/p>\n Married couples have many shared friends. It is not uncommon for those friends to pick sides and stop communicating with one of the spouses after the divorce. In some cases, a married couple\u2019s shared friends stop communicating with both spouses altogether. Either way, do not be surprised if you lose some of your friends following your divorce.<\/p>\n Speak with an Orlando Divorce Attorney<\/strong><\/p>\n A divorce is always a devastating experience, even more so if you do not know what you risk losing when your divorce becomes final.
