Financial Costs are Putting People Off Divorce
Financial Costs are Putting People Off Divorce
The costs of getting a divorce are staggering. The payouts – which don’t end overnight or in a month – can cripple you financially. It could be years before you get back on your feet.
Is your marriage in trouble? Before you consider a divorce, consider the high emotional and financial costs of divorce. Even if an affair has occurred (this is one of the most common reasons to consider a divorce), it is possible for your relationship to recover.
The collaborative divorce process allows you to avoid the high emotional and financial costs of traditional litigation, without giving up any of your rights.
Divorce is a confusing and uncertain time. Life feels chaotic. Will you ever recover from your hurt, anger and fear? How are your children going to manage? Are you overwhelmed by your finances. How are you going to get through your divorce when there is so much stress, confusion and pain?
We are all too familiar with the statistic that about half of all marriages in the United States end in divorce. The unfortunate reality is that most of these divorces result in unnecessary collateral damage, as the family issues involved are far too complex and personal for a court to address. Now there is a better way.
To find out if you should pursue a cooperative rather than a litigated divorce, ask yourself the following questions:
Do you want to be in control of your own future and not dependent upon who has the best attorney?
Do you want to ensure that the members of your family each have what they need to move forward with their lives feeling intact and secure?
Do you want your divorce to be between you and your spouse and not have your relationship aired in public?
Do you believe that both you and your partner need to make your children your primary responsibility when making financial plans?
Do you want to have a good relationship with your children during and after the divorce?
Do you want to preserve your children’s emotional health during and after the divorce?
Do you want your children to be able to invite both their parents to all the special events in their life?
