Separation can be very emotionally exhausting. During this crucial part in a person's life, it's important to be in the know on what to prioritise. A divorce involves a lot of paper work; the legal severance of marriage would take at least 12 months of waiting time before being applied. While waiting, important matters like property and finances need to be settled and it adds to the stress. With this in mind, more and more people are compelled to just settle differences with the party involved in order to avoid the emotional and financial stress and simply move on. On the other hand, other couples that need to legally solve the matter look to lawyers for advice. As ideal that move may be, most people fail to make the next right moves by talking to a financial adviser after (instead of before) the divorce. The tag team of a family lawyer and a financial adviser like Shannon and Helen, make a good combo when it comes to settling a divorce. A lawyer to work on your behalf, and a financial adviser to work on behalf of both parties, is a good combination to make sure you end up with the right assets as you move on. This tag team scenario is more beneficial than one, however, it's still best to make it a triple treat by calling up a counselor when things get too emotionally exhausting. It may be tempting to open up in front of your lawyer about how hard it is to finally move in to a new house alone, but Shannon always reminds clients that they're paying way more for a less-competent counselor. Equip yourself with legal, financial, and emotional help during divorce to soften the process of moving on.
