Pre-Divorce Education: Why Divorce Gets Dirty and How To Avoid The Mud

Divorce can be a dirty process but couples do have a choice. Education, focusing on the facts and knowing the benefits and consequences of a settlement enable couples to have a clean break.

(PRWEB) July 1, 2004 -- Getting divorced is a huge life event, ranking up there with death and major illness. Why you get divorced usually isn't as important as how you get divorced. There are alternatives to "slugging it out in court." Joan Coullahan, a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, helps couples and individuals avoid the dirt by offering educational seminars and focusing clients on the financial facts, which removes much of the negative emotion from the process.

Education is always the best preparation for any event you haven't experienced before and divorce usually falls into that category. The value of knowing how much your assets are worth, how much you are going to spend each month and how a settlement is going to affect your financial future can not be underestimated. In her pre-divorce seminars, Mrs. Coullahan teaches indivuals and couples the important financial issues and dispels many myths about money.

"Each situation is different, so don't listen to your sister or Joe down the block because that probably won't be your outcome."

Before running to an attorney, get educated by surfing the net, reading books and attending seminars. The wealth of knowledge you'll gain by doing this will keep you focused and away from huge legal bills.
