Planning a Move After a Divorce

Going through a divorce is difficult on its own, but adding in the stress of moving can make the process something you want to get done with as soon as possible. If you’re dealing with this situation, it is important to remember that anybody in this situation would be stressed and feel overwhelmed so make the most of any resources available to you to help guide you through the process. One thing you can do to alleviate the stress is hire a moving company that will be by your side throughout the process. 

Here at Camelot Moving & Storage, we know that moving after a divorce comes with a set of challenges. This is why our movers are sensitive to your needs during the move and will do everything they can to make your transition as seamless as possible. Here is how to take care of yourself during your post-divorce move, with some help from our Santa Clarita moving company. 

Figure Out the Legal Side

Even though you may think it is in your best interest to move immediately, waiting may be the most beneficial option from a legal standpoint particularly if the divorce settlement will involve the sale of a primary residence. Additionally, moving costs may be added to a divorce settlement for either party. 

Decide How to Divide Up Your Possessions

Sometimes the courts do not help when it comes to dividing up your assets. If this is the case, you’ll need to spend time talking to your spouse about who gets to keep what. Before you get moving company quotes or start planning your move, make a list of the possessions that you are planning on moving. This way, the moving company can give an accurate estimate for moving your share of belongings. 

Next, after you have decided who gets what, think about whether you want your spouse to be home during on Moving Day. To make things less stressful, you may want to schedule the move for when your spouse is not home so that confrontation is avoided. Of course, if your ex-spouse is excited for your move, having them at the house could make the move go faster. 

Personalize Your New Home

One of the best ways to get past the stress of a divorce is to have a new home that you are excited to move into. In order to do this, try to personalize your new home to your liking and fill it with your own items and possessions. Instead of getting bogged down with memories of your previous stage of life, bring items that will make you excited about your future.
