5 Things $mart People Get Right
DURING THEIR DIVORCE
#1 They Keep It…
Out Of Court!!!
Everything within you screams, “I’ll see you in court!” Friends and relatives are wanting you to ‘lawyer up!’ Don’t let emotions drive you into an expensive and emotional Court process. Court means tens of thousands of dollars and years of emotional drama! <br>There are options!
#2 They Spend the Money on A REAL
Separation Agreement
Yes you need a Separation Agreement… and yes you need a real one! Skimping on the actual agreement is probably the biggest mistake people make when separating. Preparing, a real, legal, binding and enforceable Separation Agreement is how you properly prepare for your future. This is likely to be the most important document you will ever sign. Do it right. Create it properly from the beginning!
The Unofficial Rules of Divorce:
Divorce gets prickly, even in the most amicable situation
It’s often less about the legalities and more about the money
People make expensive mistakes because they don’t make a plan
Before you do anything, understand your rights, obligations & complexities
#3 They Understand…
The Importance of Money
You’re on your own now. Understanding your money, knowing how it works and the tax & investment implications involved is vital to your financial future. Divorce is typically less about the legalities and more about the money! Choose the process that helps you make smart, savvy financial decisions.
