After going through a difficult and painful divorce, you may swear off the idea of ever getting married again, or you may have a clearer idea of what kind of relationship you are looking for and what you expect from your partner. If you are considering the idea of getting remarried, consider seeking legal advice from an experienced divorce lawyer who can help ensure that your legal and financial rights are protected as you enter into a new marriage.

What Important Factors Should I Keep in Mind Before Remarrying After Divorce?

Whether you are hesitant to the idea of getting remarried, or you are looking forward to falling in love and being married again, it is a big step that requires a great deal of thought and consideration. There are legal and financial concerns, as well as custody matters to address if you and your new partner have children. It is highly recommended that you keep the following considerations in mind before getting remarried:

  • Consider the impact the marriage will have on your finances. If you are receiving alimony payments from your former spouse, those payments will be terminated effective the date of your marriage to your new spouse. In addition, according to the Alimony Reform Act, alimony payments can be suspended, reduced, or terminated if you and your new partner live together.
  • Consider the impact your marriage will have on your children. Oftentimes, couples who are getting married for the second time have children from their first marriage. It is a major adjustment for children to get used to a new stepparent and stepsiblings. Encourage the children to talk about their feelings, express their fears and concerns, and give them time to adjust to their new family dynamic.
  • Consider a prenuptial agreement. While a prenuptial agreement may not seem particularly romantic, it is something you should seriously consider, particularly if you make considerably more income than your new spouse, or if you expect to receive significant gifts or inheritances.
  • Talk to an experienced divorce lawyer. Even if you believe you have found your perfect match the second time around, statistics suggest that second marriages are more likely to end in divorce. To avoid becoming a statistic, consult with a divorce lawyer who can assist you with a prenuptial agreement and take proactive steps to have a happy and successful marriage.
