No one wants to plan for divorce (pre-divorce planning), and no one enters into a marriage thinking they will get divorced; however, as with most voluntary relationships, it is a good idea to plan for contingencies. For that reason, many clients retain our life planning and preventative law services. Such planning is not always related to divorce; rather, it is planning for a variety of contingencies that life may throw your way.
For example, one couple wanted life planning because they had enormous debt and liability exposure from a business they owned. Through life planning, we were able to isolate the liability stemming from the business to one spouse, along with the business interest. Both parties were happy because one partner didn't need to worry about retirement security and the other knew he had the risk and rewards of the business.
Life planning and preventative law can take place at any stage of your life, whether before marriage, during marriage or after a divorce. You life plan should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure it accurately reflects your goals and desires throughout your life.
Life-planning and preventative law can help you both now and in the future with issues such as the following:
- Handling debts and planning for the future
- Handling issues relating to children
- Handling stress and mental health issues
- Maintaining a positive lifestyle
- Determining whether you need a partition agreement (such as prenuptial or postnuptial agreement)
Life-planning can include aspects of divorce planning, such as a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, which can be an effective tool, especially where one spouse has children from a previous marriage. Life-planning also can include counseling in a variety of areas and can offer guidance from mental health professionals and financial experts in addition to the experienced legal counsel we provide.
