Diligence in Divorce Planning is Essential for Positive Outcomes
Total Preparation Delivers Results and Prevents Unpleasant Surprises
The concept of divorce planning may seem strange at first. After all, most people who marry plan their lives around providing for their families and do not anticipate having relationships break down. However, when your marriage is breaking up despite your efforts, outcomes that will dramatically affect your well-being and prospects for the rest of your life are certain.
Discussion, Research and Investigation to Set Goals and Build Your Case
Our role as family law attorneys is to form a comprehensive, coherent plan for achieving outcomes that are as favorable as possible for you. This includes development of asset protection strategies specific to your case. Before beginning negotiations or deciding how to move toward resolution, it is critical for us to:
- Discuss your objectives for child custody, if this applies in your case
- Identify and determine the value of all marital assets and set about establishing ownership of non-marital property you wish to protect
- Consider whether spousal support (sometimes still called alimony) should be awarded or waived, and if contested, how we will present your side of this issue
- Take a hard look at likely financial consequences of your divorce, including projected budgets and expenses going forward and the tax ramifications of various settlement scenarios
