5 Financial Negotiation Strategies for Divorce

“What are 5 things people who are somewhere in the divorce process should think about?”

1. Avoid deciding financial issues piecemeal instead of understanding the big picture.
2. Do not allow your former spouse to use financial data as a weapon against you. The cost of divorce proceedings can be directly correlated to the amount of time and effort it takes to level the information playing field “discovery”.
3. Budget, Budget, Budget
4. Do cost benefit and risk versus reward analysis with your CDFA and attorney
5. Understand that not all lawyers are skilled in resolving disputes. They are always trained to create and escalate them. Dispute resolution is a whole different world.
