Hello! My name is Mikey and this is my moving and storage blog. I was inspired to start this blog following a move I made from Perth to Melbourne. I had lived in Perth for the past 7 years so I had acquired a lot of stuff. I was dreading the move because I didn't know how I would transport all of my stuff to my new home. Thankfully, a chum of mine recommended a fantastic moving and storage company. The moving contractors helped me to organise and move my things. I really couldn't have done it without them so I decided to start a new blog detailing my experience.

How to prepare for a timely move after undergoing divorce
Miguel Mitchell
There are many reasons why people move. From starting a new job to settling in a new city, preparing for a timely move is always important. There are also those who decide to move after undergoing divorce. A divorce typically results in many lifestyle changes, which can include moving to a new home or city.
It's important to be prepared when moving after divorce. Without being prepared, the stress of moving will simply pile onto other emotions you may be going through. This piece will give you useful tips that you can rely on to prepare for a successful move after your separation process.
Find out what you'll take and what you'll leave behind
The first step to planning your move is preparing a detailed checklist. After marriage, you may have been used to sharing items with your former spouse or children. Therefore, identifying who owns what can easily become complicated. Because it's also important to plan your move in a timely manner, you may not have much time on your hands to think about what you should or shouldn't take with you.
Start off by identifying the most important items you need. These items may include furniture, electronics, clothing, and accessories. Prepare a detailed list and organise it by priority. While you may not be able to take everything during your first moving session, you can always work your way down the list and return at a later time.
Develop a moving timeline
After prioritising your inventory list, the next step is to develop a detailed moving timeline. Set dates for when your movers will come, take time off work to be present, and arrange for any help from friends and family.
As part of this process, you may also need to consult your former spouse if you need access to the home during certain hours. Agreeing on these timelines early will prevent any conflict between you and your ex-spouse.
Prepare a packing list for your removalists
If you're on a limited timeline, the best approach is to prepare a detailed list for your removalists before they come. You may choose to label all furniture and boxes that need to be moved so as to avoid confusion.
While most moves involve the entire house, moving after divorce may only involve one person shifting their belongings from the home. Therefore, proper labelling and organisation will prevent removalists from taking away the wrong items.
