S8 Ep39: Am I At a Disadvantage If My Ex Files First For Divorce & Custody?

from Divorce Fast & Easy In Michigan · host Akiva Goldman

#ChooseGoldman Many people wonder if being the first to file for divorce puts them at a disadvantage. While judges aim to be fair, filing first can offer a slight edge by letting you control the initial story and set the tone for your case. • Filing first can help you control the narrative, especially in complex cases. • First impressions matter, even with judges who strive for neutrality. • Waiting can be risky; being proactive helps you stay ahead. • If you claim abuse first, your ex's denial might seem reactive. • Filing first allows you to make the first impression, which counts.
