One common question a person facing divorce asks is “How quickly can I get divorced?” I encourage people to look at the issue in a different way – is it better to get divorced quickly or is it better to get divorced correctly? I want to see people move forward through a divorce in the best way possible.
It is understandable that couples want to move on with their lives, but I encourage people to think past what is happening in their lives at the moment so they can see the big picture. Decisions made in a divorce follow for years to come. I want people to take a deep breath and think through their assets and debts, their financial standard of living, and what is best for their children. Slowing down and thinking through what life will look like in two or three years gives them a better perspective in order to get a divorce done as efficiently as possible.
Speed of divorce does not mean a best thought-out divorce.
