S9 Ep28: Is My Ex at an Advantage Because They Filed First?

#ChooseGoldman Many people worry that their ex has an unfair advantage just by filing for divorce first. While simple cases may not change much, filing first can be crucial when child custody is involved by establishing interim orders and controlling the narrative. Always check for specific agreements or prenuptials that might dictate penalties for the filing party before taking action. • In simple divorces without children or major assets, who files first usually does not impact the final outcome. • Filing first provides a strategic advantage in custody battles by allowing you to request interim orders immediately. • Being the first to file allows you to control the narrative rather than looking reactive to the court. • Judges may question a parent's commitment if they only ask for custody after the other parent has already filed. • Always consult a lawyer to check for prenuptials or religious documents that might penalize the person who files first. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/d94V4kxIWlw  For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-divorce-lawyer  ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
