A Childless Divorce: Ways to Cut Off a Partner for Good
Dec 20, 2019
When a divorce involves children, complications can arise and the couple is typically involved in each other's life for years in the future. If a couple has no children, the parties are better able to cut off the relationship completely.
If you are seeking a complete cutoff from your former partner, there are multiple steps to take during the divorce process. With the help of divorce attorneys, you will have the ability to completely cut ties and remove any ties associated with the person. Learn about some of the steps you should take.
Home Options
After a divorce, the home or apartment you lived in may be hard to define as just yours. In an effort to cut emotional and physical ties from your spouse, you may simply have to pack up and move out.
As you go through divorce proceedings, you can go through the process in multiple ways. For example, you could agree to sell the home and split the profits 50/50. You may even put in a clause to expedite the process or set a date limit for the sale of the home.
If you are looking for a quicker way out of the home you shared, consider giving the home to your spouse as part of the divorce. There are many options for this, including compensation for your half of the home or gaining assets which equal the value of half the home.
For example, you may get all of the owned vehicles while the spouse gets the home. A divorce attorney has the ability to break down the financials of a situation, giving you the best possible option while also allowing you to cut free from your partner.
Bank Accounts
Splitting bank accounts is another important aspect of a divorce. Once the assets get divided, take extra steps by moving to a different bank. A different bank removes any association with the previous accounts. It also eliminates the chance that you will run into your former spouse at your local bank branch.
A divorce lawyer can also ensure that all your accounts have removed your spouse as well. For example, you may have a retirement savings account that lists your spouse as a beneficiary. Before the divorce is even finalized, you will have the option to set up new beneficiaries for the accounts.
Digital Connections
Not only should you move on in the everyday interactions with your former partner, but you should cut off any digital connections as well. Make a full list of accounts to ensure you make decisions about each digital connection. Change all of your passwords and codes for various websites, especially for ones that your former spouse had access to.
Block or unfollow your former spouse on social media. The clean cut will help eliminate connections and the heightened emotions that come with a divorce.
You should also consider any digital accounts you may share with your spouse. For example, you may share video streaming sites, music websites, and other digital accounts including online shopping websites. To completely cut off yourself, you may ditch all of the websites and start fresh.
Remove any of your personal billing information from the account so you do not get charged or associated with the account in the future. If you want to keep specific services or accounts, a divorce attorney may advocate for those in negotiations.
Cutting off a former partner requires a good amount of work, but it can also make the divorce process more clear. For more information on divorces, contact us at Budget Divorce Center
