Want some divorce facts to help you move FORWARD?
One of my biggest mistakes that I made that I realize now after 10 years of craziness, is that I didn’t take care of my finances properly. I honestly just wanted to be done with it. I gave up a lot, a lot was taken- involuntarily. I didn’t plan out my future properly. I didn’t know that there were so many details that had to be thought about and considered before I even signed any agreements. And, for example, I honestly thought in a way that a lot of parents think… I believed that the only thing to really think about was the mortgage or the house or the lease, the financial situation when it comes to the kids- the kids’ expenses and the assets and breaking up the assets.
But the thing is that there are so many my details that you really don’t even realize that are really important to talk about from the get-go, if you don’t want to negotiate time and time and time again, every single time there’s an expense. And this was something that I wish that I could go back in time and iron everything out and go through the exact details of who does what, when and how, because I can tell you that I would have saved myself a whole load of craziness over the past 10 years. And this is a typical mistake that every single parent makes.
Why?
Because without proper divorce support,
we don’t know what we don’t know. And the one thing I can tell you we don’t know is that we cannot predict what is going to happen in the future. We cannot predict what kind of expenses we’re going to have. We cannot predict how the other parent is going to react or behave when it’s time to give money. This is why one of my biggest mistakes is that I didn’t go to a financial advisor or a financial coach or speak to someone who had experience with divorce, who would have said Ravit, if you go this route, then plan X, Y and Z. If you want to go different routes, then A, B and C is what’s going to happen. You pick and choose which route you want to take. If I would have done that, if I would have gone to a specialist from the very beginning, I guarantee it.
A: I would have never spent $80,000 in legal fees.
And B: I guarantee myself that I would have saved myself a whole load of craziness to go over the looping sagas over and over and over again, over the same issues all the time. My best advice to you is: get the help, be surrounded by support, guidance & wisdom.
