Who Should I Speak to (apart from an Attorney) Before Proceeding with My Divorce?
Accountant — it is always a good idea to discuss the financial impact, especially the tax consequences, of a proposed separation agreement or stipulation settling a divorce action, with your accountant.
Financial Planner/Divorce Planner — a financial or divorce planner can help you figure out how best to divide the marital assets in order to enable both spouses to support themselves following divorce.
Divorce Coach - a professional trained to "coach" you through the divorce process from an emotional perspective. A good divorce coach will help you know what to expect (emotionally) at each stage of the proceedings so you are better able to deal with it, help you focus on what is important and not get caught up in negative feelings that can be paralyzing as well as counter-productive to your family's interests during the divorce process, and help you look forward to and plan for a transition into a life as an unmarried person.
Mediator — a mediator can assist you and your spouse reach an amicable agreement working together, in a non-adversarial setting.
