Tutorial video in a series of DIY divorce videos. Before you start any settlement discussions with your spouse, you first need to get educated! You absolutely should not attempt to begin settlement negotiations until you have at least a basic education on the law regarding key topics.

How can you negotiate a fair agreement about child support and/or spousal support if you don’t first understand how much child support and spousal support the court will likely award? How can you negotiate a child custody agreement if you don’t first understand the different types of custody orders that exist under the law? How can you divide your property and debts without first having an understanding about community property and separate property laws? How can you divide retirement benefits, including 401(k)s and pensions, if you don’t understand about the special kind of court order known as a QDRO and about the special procedures required by the court to divide retirement benefits?

You can’t negotiate any of these types of agreements without first being educated. If you attempt to negotiate a settlement without first getting educated, you are almost certainly going to end up with a poorly drafted settlement agreement and probably lose valuable rights to property and support.

In our “Getting Educated video series, we will discuss basic information about key topics you will likely need to understand before you begin to negotiate with your spouse.

Some of the “Getting Educated” videos won’t apply to your case. If you don’t own a family home or you don’t have any retirement assets, you can skip those videos. If you don’t have minor children, you can skip the child custody and child support videos. You can just watch the videos that apply to your situation.
