(#10) You'll Probably Have To Give Up Your Home
From Redditor /u/mattbaum:
Potential divorce clients don't want to believe that if they and their spouses can't actually afford to maintain two separate households now that getting a divorce won't somehow magically make it affordable. I do my best to help them have reasonable expectations. I tell them what they should expect. I tell them that many times getting a divorce means that they'll be giving up the home they live in currently and the possibility of home ownership in the foreseeable future.

(#12) You Can't Force Someone To Retake Their Maiden Name
From Redditor /u/Grave_Girl:
Dudes think they can force their soon-to-be ex-wife to retake her maiden name. My ex tried this because he knew how much I hate my maiden name (it's an unflattering adjective). For most other men it seems to be, "I gave it to you, so I can take it away."

(#14) Don't Call Your Ex-Wife A Sphincter
From Redditor /u/RazKaz-Na:
Husband and wife still living together at the time had a small confrontation. The husband pulls a "sphincter says what" on her, and she takes the bait and says, "What?" He giggled like a little kid. She then told her lawyer who had to talk to his lawyer. His lawyer asked him if he called his wife a sphincter and told him he's not allowed to call her that anymore.

(#11) It's Rare To Get Full Custody Of A Child
From Redditor /u/ermahgerdsterderner:
I'm a legal assistant for a family law attorney. The amount of clients that tell me they want full custody of their kids and actually think they have a shot at getting it is astonishing. I don't think I've ever seen a party get all of their custodial rights taken away from them.

(#6) If One Spouse Cheats, The Other May Not Necessarily Get More Money
From Redditor /u/jmremote:
At least in Maryland, people assume that because their spouse was cheating, they'll be able to get more money in alimony from the judge than they would have gotten otherwise.

(#1) Being Civil Makes The Process Faster And Cheaper
From Redditor /u/FormalChicken:
Asked a friend about this once.
He said... many people come in peacefully together. It's not the standard, and it's not everyone, but it happens "way more than you'd expect." Both spouses just want the divorce and to move on. Apparently it happens quite a bit. He said that sometimes it devolves into a bit of a [disagreement] over assets, sometimes kids, but more often than not if a couple comes in together, he has a bad day because he makes the least money off of them.
He said one couple, collectively after their divorce, sent him a Christmas basket one year... Basically they wanted out and he helped navigate the legalities of it, and everyone was happy.
He also had a story of a woman who had to consult with two private investigators for her husband cheating. The first one she hired was the woman he was having an affair with.

Some divorce even evolves into a long litigation process in real life. The marriage laws of different countries are different. When dealing with divorce cases, professional lawyers will give the best according to the actual situation. The random tool shares 14 important things that people should know at beginning of their divorce.
