A divorce can be a big upheaval and can feel very stressful for anyone going through the process. What a lot of people don’t anticipate during a separation is how possessions will be divided or exactly how living arrangement will change, meaning that many items either end up getting thrown or need a place to be stored. At US Storage Centers, we know there is probably a lot that you are facing during a divorce, but we strive to help you alleviate some of the pressures and stresses of it all by providing Dallas storage for your belongings. Whether you are moving, waiting through the court process, or just need a place to keep your possessions while you sort everything out, consider how our self-storage may be able to help. Divorcing Often Means Downsizing Sometimes, one partner comes away from a divorce with his or her marital home. In others, the couple sells the home and splits the profits. In any scenario, at least one partner is legally required to move into a new home to show actual separation. New homes or apartments are generally smaller than the home he or she shared with his or her spouse, meaning one of the spouses will probably have to downsize. A Dallas storage unit can make downsizing easier, especially if you plan to eventually move into a larger place again and want to keep your furniture and other large possessions for that day. Before Your Assets Are Divided Another way a storage unit can be a help during your divorce is by providing a secure, neutral place to keep certain marital assets before they are divided. These can include documents related to your financial assets, personal items, expensive collections like art and jewelry, and tangible household items like furniture and appliances. Talk to your spouse about splitting the cost of renting a storage unit while your divorce is pending. This way, you’ll both have access to the unit and can each use it as you move into your new accommodations. Possessions in Storage Are Safe Like we discussed above, your need for self-storage probably won’t be forever. When they’re in here, they’re: Kept in a climate controlled environment; Away from harmful UV damage; Behind a locked unit door in a facility behind an electronic gate, under 24-hour video surveillance; and Protected from water, vermin, and debris. You might need your unit for a few months or you might need it for a few years. Years from now, you may even still have the storage unit but use it for different purposes. Even if a divorce feels like everything is crashing down, you can still look toward the future and your storage needs when you select your self-storage unit.
