Pre-Divorce Guidance

How Does Pre-Divorce Guidance Work?

The most effective way to approach a divorce is to understand how the divorce process works. This includes knowing what issues will need to be addressed and what divorce options are available. By working with an experienced family law attorney who can provide you with ongoing advice before you start the divorce process, you will be more ready to move forward with confidence when the time is right—without the devastating risks or surprises that come from making rash, uninformed decisions.

Our Pre-Divorce Legal Guidance service includes a complimentary one-hour Clarity Call with Karen McMahon, a nationally recognized Certified Relationship and Divorce Coach and the Founder of Journey Beyond Divorce. This call is designed to help you get clear on your goals so that you can make the decision to divorce with clarity and confidence.

Key Components of Pre-Divorce Guidance

• Strategic Planning: Collaborate with our experienced legal team to develop a customized strategy tailored to your unique circumstances and goals.
• Goal Setting: Clarify your objectives and priorities to ensure that your decisions align with your long-term vision for your future.
  Divorce Process Selection: Explore the different divorce processes, such as Mediation or Collaborative Divorce, understand their implications, and determine the approach that best suits your needs.
• Financial Analysis: We will look at your family’s sources of income, expenses, assets and liabilities, and other financial issues that are important to be aware of during your divorce. If you do not know how to gather this information, we will advise you on that as well.
• Helping you to advocate for yourself: You and your spouse may be having some discussions between yourselves related to how you plan to divorce, how to make things work financially, and how to divide time with the children when you are no longer living together. These are not easy discussions to have, but with Pre-Divorce Guidance, you won’t have to do it alone. We will be there to counsel and coach you along the way so that you can raise and respond to concerns and questions in the most productive way possible and be your own best advocate.
• Resource Referral: Every divorce decision has legal, financial, and emotional issues. During Pre-Divorce Guidance, our attorneys will help you find any advisor you may need so that you can make fully informed decisions. We can speak with your existing advisors as well, including your financial advisor, therapist, or others who are already providing you with guidance during this transitional time.
