Divorce is incredibly personal, but when your soon-to-be ex-spouse is going after the business you’ve put your blood, sweat, and tears into building, it becomes very personal. I have helped countless clients protect their business so they can maintain full ownership of it after their divorce. In this episode, one of my clients graciously offered to share her personal experience of how we strategized to help her get everything she wanted in her divorce, including her business that supported her family financially.
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
Even though you’re a smart, ambitious, and capable person, the task of going through your finances through the lens of divorce is not something you should do on your own. A CDFA® understands the nuances and exactly what to look for, which can easily be missed if you’re not a CDFA®.
If you’re a business owner, maintaining ownership of your business is usually a top priority. Working with a CDFA® will help you create a strategy to protect the business you’ve put so much time and energy into building.
A divorce brings heartbreak, whether you want to end your marriage or not. That’s why it’s so important to have a team behind you to help you separate your feelings from the facts so you can make the best decisions possible, despite the heartbreak.
