Chapter 8 Summary: The Three Steps to Take
Every divorce, regardless of its complexity or the path chosen, follows the same fundamental three-step framework. In this pivotal chapter, attorney Tracy Ann Moore-Grant demystifies the divorce process by breaking it down into manageable stages that apply whether you're facing an uncontested split or navigating complex assets and custody arrangements. Understanding these universal steps empowers couples to take control of their divorce journey rather than feeling overwhelmed by an unknown process.
Moore-Grant reveals how the traditional divorce system often transforms these necessary steps into expensive, time-consuming ordeals through formal discovery and duplicated efforts. She then contrasts this with the streamlined amicable approach, demonstrating how modern technology and cooperative strategies can accomplish the same legal requirements at a fraction of the cost and emotional toll. With real-world examples and practical insights, this chapter provides the roadmap every divorcing couple needs to move forward with confidence and clarity.
