My wife and I considered the stereotypical route of hiring lawyers and soon found out that this would most likely cost tens of thousands of dollars at a minimum. It would entail lots of heartache, motions and counter motions filed in court, including the question of discovery and mistrust. We decided that we wanted the most collaborative, efficient, cost effective route that would also reduce the risk of suffering trauma from the divorce.
Thankfully we met Karen Sparks CDFA®, J.D. who kindly guided us through the process of creating a marriage settlement agreement and referred us to her colleague Angela who was able to help with filling out the divorce paperwork and filing the court documents. This process has been much more efficient, collaborative, less traumatic, and cost effective to move through the painful process of divorce.
I strongly recommend Karen Sparks to help shepherd you through the process of getting divorced if you find that you are going through this potentially painful process.
