#10: Thinking of getting a divorce? Here is some preliminary information you should know.
If life was a fairytale, we’d all live “happily ever after” with the partner of our dreams. But reality is a different thing. In fact about half of marriages fail and the statistics are even worse for second marriages.
When couples choose to end their marriage or partnership, the financial consequences can be worse than the nastiest bear market. It’s imperative to proceed with caution and get good advice. That’s why I reached out to two experienced lawyers to ask them how they work with clients who are looking to get divorced.
Ashley Trainor, an associate at Devine Schachter Polak, is a trial lawyer specializing in family law and successions.
Tamar Ajamian is a partner also at Devine Schachter Polak; her areas of expertise are family law and estate matters.
