Why does it matter?

When a couple decides to divorce, they begin a long drawn out journey to separate their lives and begin new ones on their own. Aside from the legal steps necessary to end the marriage, the process involves several changes in various other areas including finance, real estate and mental health. Although the professional might have knowledge in one or more of the areas listed , if they are providing a service to a divorcing individual, couple, or family, it is imperative for them to be familiarized holistically on ALL of the parts that are involved and that the client will need help with. There are many areas that require either collaboration or a basic understanding in order to properly help divorcing clients make the right decisions. One simple choice or step can affect the entire process either negatively or positively.  CDS Aligned Businesses know how important it is for their staff to have a broader understanding of the process.
