Pre Divorce PlanninG

It Is it getting more difficult to imagine a future with your spouse… but just as difficult to imagine yourself divorced?

Before people take the step of retaining a divorce attorney, there is often a period of wondering whether divorce is even an option.

Should I do this? Can I do this? How can I do this? 

Attorney Whish confidentially addresses this stage of the process, empowering you with the knowledge and tools to help you make educated choices about your marital future.

You have the ability to make a change in your own life—in whichever direction that may take you.

It is normal to feel unsure about your ability to manage the legal, financial, social and emotional aspects of divorce.

Four Winds Advisors helps to alleviate the fear of the unknown by identifying possible paths to take, providing you with information about what to expect in the divorce process, and discussing common areas of concern such as:

Child Custody  /  Child Support   /   Alimony   /   Marital Home and Other Property  /
Retirement Funds and Savings   /   Medical Insurance Coverage   /   Social and Emotional Considerations

Understandably, concern and confusion about these issues can be paralyzing. Attorney Melissa Whish will formulate proactive strategies to address your particular situation. If you feel that divorce might be a possibility but wonder if it’s a realistic option, Attorney Whish will provide the guidance to help navigate a course of action.
