Article: Every state has its own laws regarding the dissolution of marriage. Once you have decided what method of divorce is best for your situation, you should educate yourself on the requirements for divorce in your state. You can locate state-specific divorce laws at: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/divorce-in-your-state-31013.html. Some questions that you should consider when preparing for divorce are:  On what grounds can I file for divorce? Some states have “no fault” divorce, which means that you do not have to prove that either spouse did something wrong. Some spouses may seek a divorce based on fault, which can include cruelty, adultery, desertion or confinement to prison.  How will my property be divided? Depending on the state in which you live, your property may be divided as community property/separate property or through equitable division. In community property states, all property accumulated during the marriage is considered marital property and is divided evenly. If you owned property before the marriage that property is considered separate property and it is not subject to division. If you live in an equitable division state, a judge will try to decide what is fair and may not divide the property evenly.  How is child custody and child support handled. The guiding principle in all states regarding custody is a determination of what is in the best interest of the child. Most states have resources for parents to help them develop a custody agreement and parenting plan. Links to these resource can be found at: http://family.findlaw.com/child-custody/child-custody-and-visitation-information-by-state.html A large part of a divorce proceeding deals with the division or marital property. When preparing to file for divorce, you should gather the following financial documents:  Federal and State income taxes for the previous five years. Paystubs and/or payroll statements. Documents concerning your retirement accounts, such as 401(k) plans, annuities, IRAs or other pension or retirement information. All insurance policies, including life, auto, health, and home. Deeds for property or contracts for leases. Any documents showing debt, including mortgage statements, student loan debt, loans, or credit card statements. Documents showing all bank accounts, including check books and bank statements. Documents showing household expenses, such as rent, utilities, food and clothing Household budget information. If you own a business, you should also gather all business documents detailing profit and loss. Most states have downloadable forms on their state court websites to simplify the divorce process.

Take the time to process the derivations of the basic equations of motion and truly understand why they work before you move onto the next concept. Reading a textbook on your own might not be enough for you to gain the depth of knowledge you’d like in physics. There are many open courseware and online courses you can take related to physics. Many of these courses have assignments to check your understanding and forums to discuss the work. These types of courses are also easy to fit into your schedule as you can work on the material when you have the time. Physics is a subject best learned through hands-on activities and solving practice problems. Do some basic experimenting and see if you can derive the equations based on your data. Answer all of the questions at the end of each chapter and check your solutions.  Seek out more problem sets online for concepts that are more troublesome than others. Physics builds upon itself, so continue to do practice problems until you feel that you have mastered the concept before moving on to the next one. If you work best in a classroom setting, check out the courses available at your local community college. Choose a course with a well-rated professor during a time that fits well into your schedule.

Article: After you finish a draft, read it with a pencil in your hand, or your finger on the delete button. If you see something that repeats a point you've already made, or wastes the reader's time, delete it. Anything that isn't working to prove the main idea is ineffective wasted space. It's sometimes necessary to eliminate unnecessary sentences, ideas, points, sections, or even paragraphs to make a piece more effective. Make sure your subjects and verbs agree, and replace weak verbs to avoid passive voice. Weak verbs include "is" "was" "be" and "have." Learn to replace weak verbs with more active verbs to make your writing more vigorous.  Instead of writing "A big crowd has been lured downtown," use a stronger verb than "has been." Try, "The festival lured a big crowd downtown," replacing the verb with the stronger "lured." Look for sentences that start with the word "there" for a quick tip to weak verbs. Bad writing is wordy and wastes the reader's time. Good writing is concise, cutting straight to the point. Don't use two words when a single more accurate word is sufficient. Instead of writing "The party was super fun and exciting," write, "The party was thrilling." Any sentence that involves multiple "ands" or semi-colons needs to be cut into more than one sentence. In general, avoid semi-colons and sentences with more than one clause. Does your writing accomplish what you wanted it to accomplish? Does it explain the main idea fully and clearly? If so, you're ready to move on to late concerns. Read over the improved draft and look for misspellings, typos, and punctuation errors. This should be one of the last things you do with a draft before it is finished. Ask a friend or family member to read your writing and ask them for specific feedback by having them tell you what they thought the main idea was, or having them write it at the end of the piece. Did they get it right? If not, keep working to make it more effective.

Cut everything that doesn't move your ideas forward. Replace weak verbs with strong verbs. Eliminate unnecessary words. Look for run-on sentences. Look back at your original purpose and make sure it matches. Proofread last. Get feedback, if possible.
