It’s Time To Start Your New Life!
.
When your “I DO” turns into “No Way” and you’re staring at the “D” word, knowing that it’s about to turn your life upside down and become a very real part of your life story, this is when you need support more than ever.
My goal is to prepare you emotionally and pragmatically while working through both the financial documents and required budget production stage and on toward your post-divorce financial independence.
.
While developing your budget for divorce settlement purposes (where you are actively engaged with the process), Judy will help you produce documents that are realistic and comprehensive for yourself and your attorneys.
If managing the household finances was not your responsibility during the marriage and you find the area of finances intimidating, Judy’s gentle guidance and years of experience in this area will be a profound relief.
As you and Judy work on these documents and information together, you will gain greater insights and understanding regarding your personal/household finances. Judy will provide tools you can adapt and use for life. With these, you can count on having the ability to manage your future post divorce finances independently and with a heightened sense of self confidence.
