Divorce is never an easy prospect, whether the couple mutually agrees on it or not. It is an emotional experience, it takes a lot of time, and it can also cost a lot of money. With so much stress surrounding this trying event, couples wonder if there is any way to make the separation easier. In small ways, we believe there are. At US Storage Centers, we have offered Phoenix self-storage for couples going through a divorce to make their separation easier on both themselves and their children. Below are three reasons you can consider for getting a storage unit if you are going through a marital separation. We Help During a Move The law in Phoenix is that before a divorce is finalized, the partners can’t be living together. This often means that one or the other of the spouses, and sometimes both, have to leave the home they were previously living in and find another residence. The move also usually means downsizing to a smaller and more affordable place. When trying to find a new place or moving into a smaller apartment, you may not have space for all of your old belongings. A storage unit is a great place to keep anything oversized or extra until the dust settles or until you are able to find a larger, maybe more permanent living space. Helping Divide Possessions Many Phoenix couples don’t have any contractual prenuptial agreement that determines the division of their property. For those divorcing couples who don’t have a premarital agreement, a storage unit may be able to help to divide up different possessions. We have helped Phoenix couples in the past by providing a storage space where they can access their personal belongings after their property has been divided. This could be anything from tools and furniture to valuable collections. If you are dividing your assets and need a place to store them, our storage facility is definitely a viable option. Keeps Children’s Items Organized If divorcing couples have children, especially children who are a little older, there are some items that have accumulated over time that come into question. Baby clothing, cribs, high chairs, dressers, and changing tables, for example, are all items that aren’t used but need to be kept somewhere, especially because most of these items are a big investment. Couples in Phoenix often mutually decide on our storage units if they have children's items to spare. If these items were already divided, even still a storage unit may be of consideration because they can end up taking up a lot of space. Getting a Phoenix Storage Unit Near You We know that getting a storage unit during your divorce process may not make the situation any better, but it could make it a little easier in one aspect. We hope you consider some of these options for your divorce and know that we are here to help you. Call us or reserve a unit online today.
