Hi Lisa,
I’m pretty new to this whole divorce mess and since I’ve never really known anyone who has gotten divorced, I’m not quite sure where to begin. Can you point me in the right direction so we can try to do this the best way possible?
Thanks,
R.K., California
Hi R.K.,
Thanks so much for your question. You are smart to want to try and set the stage for your divorce the right way from the beginning. It’s been said that they way you begin your divorce, is usually the way that you end it as well. Meaning that if you want to have the best result possible overall then you should start your divorce in the manner in which you want it to proceed.
So, do you envision a knock-down, duke-it-out fight with high powered (umm…high priced) attorneys? Or would you rather take a more civilized, peaceful and potentially money-saving approach? Deciding on this from the beginning can have a great impact on what choices you make moving forward.
Also, get educated on your options. Are you open to considering mediation or other alternative dispute resolution methods? Divorce does not have to become war of the roses.
And assembling a great team is also critical to your outcome. Your attorney, your divorce financial advisor, a therapist, mediator and potentially a child specialist should be considered depending on your particular circumstances.
In anticipation of releasing my new program I have coming soon, I am offering a list of must have attorney questions to help get you started – “37 Money-Saving Questions to ask BEFORE you Hire an Attorney. Get your F*r*e*e gift now – www.SaveMoneyInDivorce.com.
