Step 10 – Get your career in order

If you are not working, it is time to dust off the old resume and do some updating. You also want to start networking because you will probably have to re-enter the workforce unless you have small children and can expect your current spouse to support you during the children’s early child-rearing years. Most spouses will have to work following divorce and you should start the job hunt early.

If you are working, take steps to keep your personal life separate from your professional life. It will be difficult. Divorce can become all-consuming and can impact your job performance. The last thing you want is to lose your job in the midst of a divorce.
