When going through a divorce, in addition to devoting the necessary time and attention to the divorce process, it is also important to consider how your divorce impacts your estate plan.

Getting divorced involves several issues, some of which are more complicated than others, but all of which require your attention during the process. While most people are familiar with the main issues involved in the divorce process (i.e. dividing marital assets and establishing child support and child custody), in McKinney divorce lawyers’ experience, there are a number of issues that spouses tend to overlook as well.
