Mensdivorce.com recently began a new recurring column that will continue throughout the year in their 2016 Divorce Survival Guide.
This series will address various common issues that arise throughout the divorce process and offers tips for guys who are considering ending their marriage at some point this year.
The first edition covered the importance of preliminary research before you file and why it is crucial for men to seek expert legal guidance since laws will vary depending on your location and the circumstances of your marriage.
Additionally, men are often at an immediate disadvantage in family courts — particularly when it comes to fathers seeking custody — and going into divorce proceedings without a family lawyer in your corner increases the likelihood of ending up with a settlement you are not happy with.

The most recent article explained some factors to consider when narrowing your search for an attorney and the important qualities divorce lawyers should possess.
When you begin your search for a divorce attorney, the sheer number of options can be overwhelming, and many guys simply decide to pick one at random. This can be a big mistake, as selecting your representation is a major decision that will have a serious impact on your future.
Guys should be sure they find an attorney they are comfortable with, which often means meeting several before making a decision. You also need to be sure they practice solely family law, they are from the jurisdiction of the case, they have experience with the issues that will arise in your divorce and that they will return calls or emails in a timely manner.
