Simplify the divorce process and cut your legal costs

Divorce is often a complicated financial problem, requiring special skills, as well as knowlege of divorce issues.  Attorneys are not trained in financial planning.  With a plan by Patricia, your legal fees can be greatly reduced.  

If your divorce is amicable instead of contentious, a mediated settlement may be possible prior to retaining an attorney.  For early intervention mediation, Patricia acts as a neutral to calculate an equitable division of assets based on your individual circumstances and her knowlege of divorce rules and financial planning.  She can defuse an otherwise volitile situation and guide you to a peaceful divorce settlement.  

Whether for just yourself or as a couple, you can gain a clear understanding of your own finances and see how certain decisions made during divorce will effect the rest of your life.  Patricia clarifies financial issues and creates a plan for your future, detailing income, expenses and assets over a 20-year period.

 

Divorce Mediation


Mediation is the process of communicating back and forth in order to reach an agreement. In divorce resolution, a mediator can serve to separate the people from the problems, to prevent personal attacks, suggest an objective standard and help to draft the final agreement based on discussions.


Communication is the key to successful mediations, and a skilled mediator can assist in creating an atmosphere for more effective communication between parties involved in a very emotional issue.


Resolving the issues that arise in the divorce process is a very difficult problem under the best of circumstances. The most effective method of decision-making involves examining numerous options. Lifetime Planning provides professional assistance in explaining the issues to be resolved and laying out reasonable alternatives for their resolution.
