THREE PRINCIPLES FOR HOW TO SUCCEED IN FINALIZING YOUR SEPARATION AND DIVORCE:
We know families want things to be simple and streamlined.
We empower separating couples to find the right pathways to resolve family law matters.
This is PRINCIPLE #1 AGREEMENT together.
The only way your family law matter is going to be settled smoothly and efficiently is if you and your spouse agree together. This is true whether your matter is out-of-court or in-court. For example, even if your matter is in-court, there will be many discussions before any order is made by a judge at a trial. Getting to a trial almost always takes years, and there are many steps along the way where you are still expected to consent if you want to complete your separation/divorce. Similarly, if your matter is out-of-court there will be many discussions before any domestic contract (separation agreement, prenuptial agreement, cohabitation agreement) is written and signed. Almost all separating couples say they do not want to waste time and money. However, almost all those same couples do not understand that they will need to consent to reach an agreement with their spouse. If you want to waste your families’ time and resources (money, emotions) on arguing, then that is up to you. There is no magic solution. If you cannot agree together (i.e., CONSENT) somewhere along the way then you and your spouse are going to have to spend a lot of time and resources to go through those steps.
PRINCIPLE #2 is COMPROMISES. If you DO want to save time and resources, then you DO have to make compromises and agree together.
PRINCIPLE #3 is DISCLOSURE. The biggest secret to simplifying and streamlining family law disputes is disclosing information quickly and voluntarily (parenting, property and financial information).
Now you are on the right pathway. That is why starting with an Early Neutral Consultation with a lawyer, mediator or neutral family professional is the way to a simple and streamlined process for your separation or divorce.
