What should I know?

The decision to divorce is a huge step. Many people involve lawyers too soon, without having had enough time or guidance to make an informed decision. Dealing with the personal and emotional turmoil of relationship breakdown is difficult enough. Having to also wade through a legal minefield to find out what your choices are, while legal costs escalate, can be overwhelming.
