Going through a divorce is challenging, both emotionally and financially. As collaborative divorce professionals, we have seen how this process can be smoother and more amicable than a court-litigated divorce. The key is working with a neutral financial mediator to divide assets, review your financial portfolio and suggest your options for the future. Being honest about your finances during divorce sets the stage for a more amicable separation. A financial neutral can help both partners understand their situation clearly, even if one hasn’t been the primary earner or financial manager.
