Should I tell my husband prior to filling for divorce?

Answer by  jmcew (139)

You should tell your husband if you think there is any hope of reconciliation. Be honest with him, go to counseling, or stay with a friend to get the space you need. If you are sure, and you have already talked it to death, go ahead and file.

You do NOT have to tell your husband before filing for divorce. Your attorney will give you advice on what you should do prior to filing for divorce, such as getting your name off credit cards that you share with your husband. But it is okay for your husband to find out when the papers are served.

It is totally up to you whether you want to tell your husband prior to filing for divorce. You can do it without telling him.
