Does Filing First Really Matter?

Today, let’s tackle a common misconception about divorce: The belief that filing first gives you the upper hand. In my 15 years of practice, I’ve seen this myth circulate far too often. Let’s dive into the truth behind this notion and shed light on what really matters in divorce proceedings.

Filing First Equals Better Outcome in Divorce?

There’s a prevailing belief that filing for divorce first leads to a favorable outcome. But here’s the reality: there’s no significant correlation between filing first and getting a better deal. Factors like property division, custody, child support, and spousal support are determined by various considerations, not by who files first. While filing first may have temporary advantages, especially in custody matters, it doesn’t ultimately sway the outcome.

What Truly Influences Divorce Proceedings?

In divorce trials, it’s not about who presents their case first; it’s about the myriad factors considered in the determination of aspects like property division and custody. Whether you file first or second, what truly matters is having competent legal representation. With the right attorney fighting for your rights, you’ll receive what you’re entitled to in your divorce.
