In this refreshed episode of I Now Pronounce You Divorced, we’re traveling back to where it all began, revisiting our inaugural episode because the guidance is just as relevant today as it was when it first aired.Melone Hatley's Founder and CEO, Rebecca Melone, Esq., and Charles Hatley, Esq., discuss the do’s and don’ts of the initial stages of divorce, including how to think about your date of separation, why planning matters before making major decisions, what to consider before moving out, and why social media can become a serious issue during a divorce case.While this episode originally aired when Melone Hatley was a growing firm with roots in Virginia, we have since expanded to serve families across four states: Virginia, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas. What has not changed is our commitment to helping people protect their families, finances, and futures during one of the most difficult transitions of their lives.Whether you are just beginning to consider divorce, already separated, or trying to understand what steps to take next, this episode offers practical insight into how to approach the early stages with clarity, caution, and a plan.
