There are major questions you must ask yourself during this period...
"Is it best to hire my own lawyer, a joint mediator or a collaborative lawyer?"
As a former litigator, I understand that this decision can be agonizing. For a non-lawyer without guidance, it can feel almost impossible to sort out. This decision can ultimately determine the outcome of your divorce. I can help you make this decision, refer you to the best qualified professional for your needs and save you money by preparing you.
"Should I enlist the help of a therapist?"
During this difficult time you may want emotional support for yourself and/or your children. You may also wish to explore the possibility of saving your relationship. I will provide you with hand selected referrals to the best therapists and marital counselors in the area.
"How do I prepare myself financially and what type of financial specialist will best suit my unique needs?"
Your goal is to preserve your assets pre- and post- divorce. Determining whether you need a financial planner, an investment advisor or an accountant can be a daunting task, and finding the appropriate professional can be even more difficult. I can guide you through this maze and help you select from the best experts in the business to guarantee your assets are protected.
"How can I cope with this overwhelming change?"
If divorce is inevitable, you will unquestionably face change. Life coaches and professionals exist who can help ensure that the impact of these changes is positive. I will help you find an appropriate life coach or other specialist to guide you through this transition.
