Assembling Your A-List Divorce Team
Divorce can be a very stressful and confusing time. You are probably being bombarded with advice, some of it conflicting, and you may not know where to turn or who to trust. The best thing you can do to get through this trying time is to assemble a team of trusted experts who are experienced in the divorce process to help guide you through this trying time.
Here are some people you will want to have on your team:
- Divorce lawyer: This is the most important expert to have on your team. An attorney is more than just an advocate for you. Your attorney will be able to look at your case objectively and give sound advice because your attorney will not be emotionally involved in the case, as you are. Your attorney understands the law, knows just exactly what you are entitled to, and will advocate for getting you as much as the law will allow.
- Forensic accountant: The motto of this expert is “show me the money.” Forensic accountants can be invaluable members of the team because they will be able to trace money and hidden assets. This is an especially valuable team member to have if either you or your spouse owns a business. This professional will be able to get you the most value for the business that you are entitled to.
- Private investigator: While not always necessary, if your spouse has been up to no good, this professional can help build your case to support awards for more marital assets or more parenting time.
- Therapist: Divorce will be one of the most stressful and emotional times of your life. Hiring a professional psychiatrist or therapist can help you maintain your sanity as you go through this trying time.
- People who can testify for you: Start lining up neighbors, teachers, babysitters, friends and anyone else who can help show what a good parent you are.
