Going through a divorce is not easy. You and your estranged spouse may not get along well and have trouble communicating with one another. Fortunately, there are many options for communicating that will allow you to talk without being face-to-face.

You may need to communicate because of having children together, or you may have to discuss property division or other factors of your divorce. If you have trouble talking in person, you have some other options. Here are several of the ways you can communicate with the ability to save those conversations for use in court.

If you are interested in buying a property, one thing you may want to look into having is title insurance. Title insurance is a kind of indemnity insurance that protects you against financial losses suffered as a result of defects in a property's title. There are several kinds of title insurance, with the most common being lender's title insurance. Owner's title insurance is also a possibility.

When you buy a property, the most important thing is that the title is clear. Without a clear title, it's impossible to know who has legal ownership of the property and there could be claims on the property that are not yet resolved. So-called "dirty" titles complicate purchases and are generally avoided by buyers.

With parenting plans, there are always going to be changes. However, a great parenting plan will account for changes in the future and describe how you'll handle them.

Parenting plans are essential, because they explain how you'll raise your child, what to expect from the other parent and what the other parent expects from you. It can address things like what happens if your child is sick or what to do about religion or other activities that one parent may prefer for their child.

You may not think it's a big deal to say negative things about your estranged spouse to your children. The truth is that doing so can be extremely harmful to your relationship with your kids and cause strain in other aspects of your divorce. Children are aware that they are made up of half of each parent. They know that they come from their mom and dad.

Imagine how you would feel if you suddenly heard that half of you was all bad. You'd be angry. Imagine hearing that someone you love hates someone who is also very important to you. You'd be conflicted.
